The unprecedented White House match has been unveiled, but when the lid is opened, it seems to be a series of disappointments. Criticism is mounting that it is a meaningless match as a large number of big stars such as John Jones and Conor McGregor are missing, overshadowing the large amount of reverse investment.

UFC released the match list of the White House event to be held on June 14 during UFC 326 live broadcast on the 7th (Korea time).

The competition was designed to commemorate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence and President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. It was also predicted that fighters would walk out of the Oval Office of the White House and enter the Octagon installed on the South Lawn. Even according to USA Today, President Trump expressed his expectation for the UFC White House match, saying, "It will be a big event like never before."

According to the official announcement, the main event is a lightweight integrated title match, with undefeated champion Ilya Topuria and provisional champion Justin Gaic. The Comain event was organized as a preliminary heavyweight title match between Alex Pereira and Cyril Gane.

However, immediately after the match was announced, social media including the UFC's official social network service (SNS) were receiving a line of disappointing comments, such as "Where is Jones" and "McGregor is not on the list."

The main reason is the absence of iconic superstars. In particular, it is painful that the return of John Jones, the heavyweight champion and the best player of all time (GOAT), was finally canceled. According to "USA Today," Chairman Dana White kept security by erasing the whiteboard at every matchmaking meeting to prevent information leakage, but the name that fans wanted was omitted from the result.

The departure of UFC's top villain Conor McGregor also failed to avoid the arrow of criticism. McGregor has strongly expressed his willingness to participate in the White House tournament since February, saying, "Send the contract." In the past, the possibility of an MMA match against Mayweather or a third game against Nate Diaz was mentioned, and it was expected to be the center of the festival,

UFC has announced its full investment plan to give up profits by investing $60 million (about 88 billion won) in this event. However, Sean O'Malley, Michael Chandler, and Bonical are widely considered to be too heavy to handle the iconic White House and the historical weight of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
