UFC CEO Dana White has outlined the huge security problem he faces for the highly anticipated UFC White House card.White made the event official in August, one month after US President Donald Trump revealed his plans to bring the UFC to the White House for the 250th anniversary of America.Both Conor McGregor and Jon Jones have said they want to make a return at the UFC White House cardGettyMembers of the MMA fraternity have since been putting together the best possible match-ups that the promotion could offer for their dream card.Conor McGregor has made his stance clear on a comeback for the Washington, DC event, while former UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones will attempt to convince White to offer him a spot on the card.However, none of this will be possible if White and his team, along with the United States Secret Service, can’t figure out how security will operate on the day, given the sheer number of precautionary measures that will be put in place ahead of fight night.Dana White details ‘massive issue’ he faces with security for UFC White House“We went to the White House last week,” White said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, explaining how his ‘first meeting’ with Trump about UFC White House plans went down.“We laid out all the renderings and started to get [Trump] to sign off on what he likes and what he doesn’t like.“He loved it, so now we’re diving in headfirst, and all of the work starts [now].“The last time I [visited] the White House, I went up on the roof. They have snipers with 50 cals all over the roof of the White House.“It’s pretty crazy, but yes, the security is going to be a massive issue, because at the end of the day, the Secret Service’s job is to protect the President, and I don’t know how it’s going to work out as far as having people there live on the lawn of the White House.”White then confirmed the attendance on the South Lawn will be under 5,000, but added that he can pack in up to 85,000 fans in a nearby park to watch the fights on giant screens.“We’re going to put a big stage out there and do concerts,” the 56-year-old added.White said Trump loved his initial plans, but faces a huge problem with security for UFC White HouseGetty“We’re going to take over Washington, DC that whole week.”When is the UFC White House card happening?UFC White House is expected to go down in June 2026, following rumours that it would take place on July 4, 2026, to mark 250 years of US independence.The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the National Mall will be used for fan activities during the build-up to the event, including meet-and-greets with UFC stars.The outlet also reported that a press conference and fighter weigh-ins are being planned to take place on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, with fighters allowed space to warm up in the White House itself before they make their walk to the Octagon.No fights have been made official for the historic event to date, but plenty of stars have already confirmed or denied their presence.Women’s MMA pioneer and former UFC champion Ronda Rousey said this month that she has ‘better s*** to do’ than make a return at the White House, while Colby Covington has called out Paddy Pimblett for a fight on the card.White has repeatedly dismissed Jones’ chances of fighting at UFC White HouseWhite, meanwhile, has insisted that the chances of his ex-star Jones headlining the White House card are ‘a billion to one.’The UFC CEO has lost all trust in ‘Bones’ after he reversed on his word to face Tom Aspinall in a heavyweight title fight.White told UFC media in August: “Let me ask you, what do you think Jon would do in the next couple of months that would make me trust putting him on the White House card?“So I already said that I don’t trust him, and you’re asking me what he could do for me to trust him in the next three months? You don’t trust him.“I don’t talk to him either. I haven’t talked to him at all. If I had to make odds, it’s a billion-to-one that I put Jon Jones on the White House card.”Talks between White and government officials are set to progress over the next few months, but will have been halted significantly with the presence of Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford and Noche UFC this weekend.
