Dana White says UFC Fight Night at White House 'going to happen'

(ESPN) UFC CEO Dana White said a fight night at the White House on the Fourth of July next year is "absolutely going to happen," and he's scheduled to travel to Washington later this month to meet with President Donald Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, to discuss logistics.

President Trump said last month that he wanted to stage a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence.

"It's absolutely going to happen," White told The Associated Press. "Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House south lawn live on CBS."

A civil war could prevent this. The Founders would approve.

Then, after getting himself knocked out with the first blow, suffer a heart attack and die by one of maga's own hands. How appropriate!
