Trump to Host UFC at the White House on His 80th Birthday

President Donald Trump has officially announced that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will host an event at the White House on June 14, 2026 — his 80th birthday.

The announcement came during his speech marking the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary at Naval Station Norfolk.

UFC President Dana White, a longtime friend of Trump’s, confirmed the organization will spend $700,000 to restore the South Lawn grass after the event.

The two have shared a close relationship since 2000, when Trump’s Atlantic City properties hosted early UFC fights.

Now, that friendship will bring the octagon to the most famous lawn in America.
