UFC Begins Building White House Fight Card for June 14 Broadcast

Matchmakers move to lock in six to seven bouts after the President approved the South Lawn plan.

Overview

  • Dana White said the promotion will have fights "dialed in by this weekend" following a Las Vegas matchmaking meeting that includes matchmaker Mick Maynard.
  • No bouts have been officially announced, and White dismissed a widely shared Conor McGregor vs. Colby Covington rumor as "total BS."
  • TKO chief Ari Emanuel projects a compact slate of six to seven fights with approximately 3,000–4,000 attendees on the South Lawn.
  • The event will air on CBS and Paramount+, with no public ticket sales and plans that account for tight security and significant post-event lawn restoration costs.
  • UFC production teams completed site walkthroughs, and the President signed off on the event’s placement and flow for the June 14 target date.
