250th anniversary of the USA
Donald Trump wants to turn the white house into a combat arena
It still takes until the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States. But Donald Trump already has sporting plans for this special day.
The 250th birthday of the United States is said to be a very special one – even in the White House. The preparations for a spectacle that has not yet existed in the history of the country is already underway: Donald Trump wants to organize cage fights in the U.S. government seat on July 4, 2026, reports the CBS station, citing a statement by the head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White. The event will “definitely take place,” he said.
On July 4th, the United States traditionally celebrates its independence. The day is one of the most important non -religious festivals in the United States, and is celebrated every year with great fireworks. On the occasion of the 250th anniversary, the cage fight in the White House is said to be the climax. The idea came personally from the US President: At a kick-off event in the US state of Iowa last month, Trump already announced that the White House would organize a “complete fight” as part of the celebrations. Fighters have not yet been announced.
The conversations between the White House and the organizer UFC are already going to run. White said he spoke to the US President about the event on Monday evening. At the end of August he would meet him and his daughter Ivanka Trump to discuss the details and designs for the event location. Ivanka has already contacted him in this regard.
Donald Trump lets his contacts play in the sports world
UFC boss Dana White is considered a long-time supporter and friend of Donald Trump. The two have known each other since 2001. At that time, White organized a UFC fight in Trump Taj Mahal Casino-Hotel in Atlantic City in the US state of New Jersey. Since then, White has repeatedly shown to Trump’s side, most recently at Trump’s rally to celebrate his election in November 2024. In the past, the US President has always been seen at the UFC events.
The UFC is the largest professional league for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The popular martial arts in the USA combines techniques of various disciplines – such as kickboxing and wrestling. The duels are held in cage -like combat areas, but, unlike, for example, the wrestling are not provided. US President Donald Trump is considered a fan of this martial arts.
