UFC White House Card Reveal Set for Saturday
UFC CEO Dana White announced on Thursday, during the UFC 326 Pre-Fight Press Conference, that the highly anticipated UFC White House fight card details will be unveiled this Saturday.
Since its initial announcement last July, considerable speculation has surrounded the lineup for this historic event, with many of the promotion's top stars actively campaigning for a spot on the card.
High-profile fighters linked to the card include former two-division champion Jon Jones, who notably came out of retirement, and fellow ex-two-division titleholder Conor McGregor. Former bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley has also expressed keen interest. Alex Pereira's recent relinquishment of his light heavyweight title has fueled rumors of him headlining the event. Furthermore, former lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler has publicly confirmed his intention to compete on the White House Lawn.
Scheduled for June 14, the event is a pivotal part of America's 250th anniversary celebrations. It is projected to be a week-long affair, mirroring the format of International Fight Week.
