It is stunning when you think about Trump first publicly talked about the occasion throughout a speech on July 3 … and two weeks later, White’s almost able to journey to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
After all, the UFC places on dozens of huge occasions annually … however a battle on the White Home has by no means been tried. Safety, logistics … there is a ton of planning required.
One of the crucial necessary features of the occasion for 45/47 is that followers have the ability to attend … which Dana defined performs into the president’s philosophy on his house.
“One of the many things I love about [President Trump], his whole philosophy is the White House belongs to the American people, and the American people should be able to enjoy this place.”
The UFC boss continued … “When [President Trump] walks you around the White House, you’ve never seen someone more proud of a place than he is with the White House. To try and explain to people how much this guy loves this country — it’s not explainable.”
Regardless of the occasion being virtually a full 12 months out, some MMA superstars have already begun jockeying for a spot on the cardboard … together with Conor McGregor and Jon Jones.
We requested Dana if he had tentatively penciled in any fighters for the cardboard … and whereas DW factors out the occasion is a while away, there will not be an absence of star energy!
For these hoping to see somebody get slapped and/or punched sooner, White’s acquired two large occasions happening beginning Friday evening in Louisiana … PowerSlap 14, after which UFC 318, Dustin Poirier‘s closing battle!
Throughout the Octagon from The Diamond shall be one other legend, Max Holloway. This shall be their trilogy battle … and it is happening in entrance of Dustin’s house state followers.
Additionally on the 318 card are Paulo Costa, Kevin Holland, Patricio Pitbull, amongst others.

We additionally spoke to Dana about his enterprise into boxing, his past love … because the UFC president has teamed up with big-time Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh, to carry the world Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford. (happening Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas).
For years, the knock on boxing has been that high boxers do not battle each other … and that is one thing Dana is actively working to repair.
