UFC to fund White House event without taxpayer money

    Dana White says the UFC will foot the bill for its planned White House lawn card and will not be seeking taxpayer funding, according to comments made in late January 2026.

    He reportedly told Sports Business Journal the promotion will absorb all production expenses rather than asking the government to pay.

    The build will include a custom lighting solution to showcase the White House backdrop and other bespoke production elements that are expected to drive up costs.

    Those costs are being compared to the promotion's expensive Sphere show, which topped $20 million, and reports indicate the company may also cover near-$1 million lawn repairs after the event.

    Further specifics are reportedly limited and readers are directed to the original report for full details.
