The specific scale of the White House UFC event, planned for U.S. President Donald Trump's 80th birthday, has been unveiled. At least six matches will be held along with the unprecedented entrance of the presidential office player.
According to a report by sports media "ESPN" on the 7th (Korea Standard Time), TKO Group CEO Ari Emanuel said in an interview with local media, "The UFC event on the southern lawn of the White House on June 14 will consist of six to seven matches."
CEO Emmanuel said, "This competition will be broadcast live. About 3,000 to 4,000 spectators will watch the historical moment on site, he said, adding, "Everyone will look forward to the competition."
The competition was planned as a project to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States on the day of the establishment of the U.S. flag and President Trump's 80th birthday. According to "USA Today," President Trump expressed confidence in himself, saying, "It will be a tremendous event that has never been before and will never happen again." UFC CEO Dana White once vowed that "the fighters will actually leave the Oval Office door and head to the Octagon."
Superstars are also requesting to participate in the competition in line with the scale of the competition beyond imagination. In particular, Conor McGregor said to Floyd Mayweather Jr., "Mayweather, are you ready to play the MMA game you promised. I'm here," he said. "The White House is a great place. "If Mayweather accepts the MMA rule, he can win in 10 seconds," he provoked. In the past, McGregor was defeated by TKO in a boxing rule showdown with Mayweather.
Even the champion, who won two UFC weight classes, expressed his will to participate in the White House match. It is expected that Ilia Topuria, who recently announced her return after resolving a legal dispute over privacy, and Justin Gaic, who became the provisional champion at UFC 324 last month, will also play at the White House.
Shortly after the victory, Gaic said, "The best game UFC can make is an integrated title match between me and Topuria," adding, "I want to face Topuria in the White House tournament." Topuria also said, "Get ready. You're doomed now," he said, accepting the challenge. In addition to this, Islam Makachev said, "Open the White House. I want to fight there," he said, expressing his intention to participate in the war. John Jones and Sean O'Malley are also eager to enter the White House Octagon.
CEO White planned to house 85,000 people not only inside the White House but also in nearby Ellips Park, making the entire city of Washington, D.C., a UFC city. CEO Emmanuel said, "President White did not reveal a specific matchup. However, I understand that he is doing his best to prepare for the tournament," he said, suggesting the formation of an all-time match.
