UFC President Dana White endorsed the idea enthusiastically and superstar Conor McGregor expressed interest in participating.

In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Bisping built his fantasy card for what he would simply call "UFC White House" or "UFC America" instead of a numbered pay-per-view. His fight card includes two title fights, along with returns of major UFC stars Conor McGregor and Jon Jones.

A UFC spokesperson confirmed to The Athletic 's Mark Puleo on Friday that plans are in motion for a UFC fight to take place at the White House as part of the United States’ 250th birthday celebration in 2026. The news follows President Donald Trump’s public announcement of the idea during a speech in Iowa on Thursday.
