U.S. President Donald Trump, known as a fan of mixed martial arts, announced that he would host a UFC match at the White House for next year's 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
According to USA Today and others on May 3 (local time), President Trump stated during a speech at an event in Iowa that he would hold a UFC match at the White House and accommodate about 25,000 spectators using space within the White House.
President Trump said, "We are preparing great events including professional and amateur matches," noting that it would be "a really big event."
Donald Trump has been known as a longtime fan of mixed martial arts, with past sightings frequenting UFC events.
In November last year, shortly after his electoral victory, he was spotted attending a UFC match in New York, sitting alongside Dana White, UFC's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and his close confidant. Recently, he also attended a UFC event held at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
