Have you heard? The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to host a historic event on the White House lawn during the 2026 Fourth of July weekend.

Indeed, President Donald Trump plans to mark America’s 250th anniversary with cage fighting, drawing thousands of live spectators. Numerous fighters have already expressed interest in competing at this unprecedented spectacle.

So, with the event a year away, MMAMania.com is going to build our completely unofficial fantasy UFC White House card below:

Main Event

Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones

The biggest UFC fight that can be made right now is Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall. For roughly two weeks, that dream matchup seemed impossible after Jones announced his retirement. However, “Bones” has re-entered the drug-testing pool, signaling he may have a reason to keep fighting.

IF Jones is serious about continuing his career and not just trolling fans, a showdown with Aspinall must headline the card. It’s not only a thrilling America vs. U.K. clash but also amplified by Jones’ personal invitation to President Trump’s inauguration.

Let’s be real, though—Jones might derail this by continuing to duck Aspinall or landing in legal trouble again.

Fingers crossed, nonetheless.

Co-Main Event

Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler

Conor McGregor not headlining a UFC event sounds wild, but his out-of-cage antics have tarnished his reputation so much that, sorry, he’s been demoted to co-main event status.

The only fight that makes sense for McGregor’s comeback is against Michael Chandler, given their history on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 31 and the canceled UFC 303 bout due to McGregor’s broken pinky toe.

With McGregor’s friendship with Trump and his White House visit earlier this year, “Notorious” claims he’d be “honored” to fight on the card, though betting odds suggest he’s unlikely to get the invite.

McGregor hasn’t fought inside the Octagon since breaking his leg back in 2021, and Chandler is coming off three losses.

Main Card

Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal 2

The first fight between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal sucked, so why book a rematch? Simple: watching two fighters vie for Trump’s approval in front of him is too juicy to pass up. Plus, I’m adding a stipulation—the loser must retire and disappear from the UFC forever.

Also, they still hate each other.

Covington’s obsession with Trump has defined his persona for nearly a decade, making his inclusion on this card a no-brainer (even if Trump bailed during his title fight against Leon Edwards).

Masvidal, meanwhile, has been vocal about his Trump support, which some credit for helping Trump win Hispanic voters in Florida during the 2024 election.

Maybe the rematch will be better.

Israel Adesanya vs. Sean Strickland 2

I’m aware that Israel Adesanya vs. Sean Strickland 2 might already happen before the UFC’s White House event, but if it doesn’t, this rematch is perfect for the card.

Their first clash at UFC 293 saw Strickland pull off a massive upset, dethroning Adesanya to claim the middleweight title. Since then, “Stylebender” has been itching for a rematch with the “fat b—ch.”

Strickland’s all-American persona makes him a must-have for this patriotic card.

Both former champions are coming off losses, adding stakes to this high-profile showdown.

Henry Cejudo vs. Brandon Moreno

Kicking off the UFC White House main card is a grudge match years in the making between former flyweight champions Brandon Moreno and Henry Cejudo.

It’s also a Mexican vs. Mexican, or sorry, an American that will never carry a Mexican flag vs. a Mexican.

Once close friends, Moreno and Cejudo’s bond soured after drama on The Ultimate Fighter. For years, they’ve traded barbs and called for a fight, even eyeing a clash at The Sphere.

With Cejudo telling Trump he has one final bout to cap his storied career, a showdown outside the White House would be a legendary send-off.
