UFC President Dana White has revealed renderings for a special MMA arena to be built on the South Lawn of the White House. It's part of the America 250 celebration in 2026, which will bring a major UFC fight to the most iconic venue in the U.S.
According to White, the arena is designed to hold 5,000 fans, with a large, illuminated arch that will frame the Washington Monument and White House. At its center, the octagon ring, known as the signature home of UFC fights, will be visible. He called it a “one-of-one event” that feels like a show at a state-of-the-art venue.
The White House posted a message saying “See you on the South Lawn”, which sparked online discussion. They also plan to set up a watch party outside the venue so more people can watch as well.
