Hours after Paramount and UFC announced a billion-dollar rights deal, Dana White said he had yet to hear from his friend President Donald Trump on his thoughts about the fight company’s new streaming home.
That was fine with White. The UFC CEO is set to travel to Washington on Aug. 28 to meet with Trump and his daughter Ivanka to catch up and discuss logistics on the proposed Fourth of July fight card next year at the White House.
Trump said last month 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
