Ever since the UFC White House event was<br \/>\nannounced by President Donald Trump, there has been plenty of<br \/>\nspeculation regarding what the final product will look like, and<br \/>\nthere have been numerous fighters campaigning to be on the card.<br \/>\nRegardless of what the final lineup looks like, White expects the<br \/>\nevent to be a boon for broadcast partner Paramount.<\/p>\n<div id=\"adViAi\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \u201cWe\u2019re going to figure that all out this week. This is like a<br \/>\none-of-one event,\u201d White recently said on CBS Sports. \u201cIt\u2019s<br \/>\nsomething that will never happen again. Building this card \u2014 we had<br \/>\nthis video rendering of what it looks like. We literally have the<br \/>\ntrees that are on the South Lawn. We\u2019ll know exactly where the sun<br \/>\nis until it sets. So all the logistics are done. We believe that<br \/>\nthis is going to be the most-watched UFC event ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Building the Fanbase<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to attracting the UFC\u2019s usual fanbase, White believes<br \/>\nthe card will help to create new fans \u2014 in part because the<br \/>\nmagnitude of the event will prompt an entirely new audience to<br \/>\nwatch the fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to introduce a lot of people to it that have never seen<br \/>\nit before,\u201d White said. \u201cAnd when you talk about me, my executive<br \/>\nteam, the staff that works here, the media that covers us, and the<br \/>\nfighters, this is going to be the most unique, amazing night of our<br \/>\nentire careers. The fighters are walking from the Oval Office. I<br \/>\nbet a lot of the people that cover the sport and are fans of the<br \/>\nsport probably have never been to the White House before. And<br \/>\nobviously the fighters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, this is a really special, one-of-one night. And you know, when<br \/>\nwe go to do something, I like to deliver, and I like to deliver<br \/>\nbig. So, it\u2019s going to be special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The UFC White House card is expected to take place on June 14 and<br \/>\nwill likely air on Paramount+. It could potentially be simulcast on<br \/>\nCBS, as well.<\/p>\n<p><center readability=\"1.6029962546816\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"5.6104868913858\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;This is a one-of-one event&#8230; We believe<br \/>\nthat this is going to be the most watched UFC event EVER.&#8221;<a rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/danawhite?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@danawhite<\/a><br \/>\nspeaks on UFC White House card as they start matchmaking this week<br \/>\n\ud83d\udc40 <a rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/szhDKEikWs\">pic.twitter.com\/szhDKEikWs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 UFC on Paramount+ (@UFConParamount) <a rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UFConParamount\/status\/2021378220965364124?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\"><br \/>\nFebruary 11, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/center>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dana White thinks the UFC White House card will be the promotion&#8217;s most-watched event of all-time. | Jim Watson\/ AFP via getty As one might expect, Dana White has high hopes for the UFC\u2019s historic event at the White House.
