Suggested Figure For UFC White House Event

A recent report from Puck.news suggests that the UFC could be planning to spend as much as $60 million on making the monumental White House event happen this June.

Exact dollar amounts have not been confirmed yet, so this is mostly based on speculation, but the UFC CEO did mention he would spend $700,000 on replacing the South Lawn alone once the event is over. The UFC’s most expensive event so far was their Noche UFC card in September 2024 at the Las Vegas Sphere, with the promotion spending just over $20 million. It has been expressed by Dana White that the White House event will certainly cost more.

The UFC matchmakers are currently working on putting the fights together for what is expected to be a card of around 6 or 7 bouts, according to TKO CEO Ari Emanuel. At this time, no bouts have been confirmed, but it is anticipated by many that Conor McGregor will make his long-awaited return for the special occasion.

Few plans have been revealed by the promotion, but as June 14th creeps closer, many are expecting the announcements to ramp up. But plans are obviously developing, as it was confirmed in recent months that the weigh-ins will take place at the Lincoln Memorial, with fighters likely warming up inside the White House prior to the walk to the octagon on the South Lawn.
