Trump Says White House to Host UFC Fight on His 80th Birthday!

Reported by David Joshua | Sele Media Africa

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that a much-anticipated UFC fight will now be held at the White House on his 80th birthday, despite earlier plans indicating a July 4 date for the event.

Speaking during a campaign rally in Florida, Trump, known for his close ties with UFC President Dana White, said the bout would be “the first of its kind in American political history.”

“We’re doing it on my birthday — the biggest, boldest fight ever seen at the White House,” Trump said to cheers from supporters.

While the specific fighters have not yet been officially named, reports suggest the event will feature top-tier UFC athletes in a symbolic celebration of American toughness and freedom.

The announcement has drawn both excitement and criticism, with some hailing it as a bold cultural moment, while others question the appropriateness of turning the historic grounds into a combat sports venue.

More details, including the fight card and guest list, are expected to be released by the UFC in collaboration with the Trump campaign.
