It is surprising when you think about Trump first publicly talked about the occasion throughout a speech on July 3 … and two weeks later, White’s almost able to journey to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

In fact, the UFC places on dozens of large occasions annually … however a combat on the White Home has by no means been tried. Safety, logistics … there is a ton of planning required.

Regardless of the occasion being virtually a full 12 months out, some MMA superstars have already begun jockeying for a spot on the cardboard … together with Conor McGregor and Jon Jones.

We requested Dana if he had tentatively penciled in any fighters for the cardboard … and whereas DW factors out the occasion is a while away, there will not be a scarcity of star energy!

For these hoping to see somebody get slapped and/or punched sooner, White’s received two massive occasions taking place beginning Friday night time in Louisiana … PowerSlap 14, after which UFC 318, Dustin Poirier‘s closing combat!

Throughout the Octagon from The Diamond shall be one other legend, Max Holloway. This shall be their trilogy combat … and it is taking place in entrance of Dustin’s dwelling state followers.

Additionally on the 318 card are Paulo Costa, Kevin Holland, Patricio Pitbull, amongst others.

We additionally spoke to Dana about his enterprise into boxing, his old flame … because the UFC president has teamed up with big-time Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh, to convey the world Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford. (taking place Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas).

For years, the knock on boxing has been that high boxers do not combat each other … and that is one thing Dana is actively working to repair.
