Apart from that, Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane will fight for the interim heavyweight championship in another high-profile contest on the card. Other notable fighters scheduled to compete include Sean O’Malley, Derrick Lewis, Michael Chandler, and Bo Nickal, among others.

The card has seven blockbuster fights, making it one of the most stacked events the promotion has announced in recent memory. However, there are no women on the fight card, which has certainly raised questions about Donald Trump‘s grand vision.

Historically, the UFC has frequently featured women fighters on its biggest events, but this occasion has been noticeably different from previous cards. CEO Dana White was recently asked about this during an interview, and he shared his thoughts on the matter.

“I wanted women on the card, but it just didn’t work out that way. The only thing that I cared about making this card is having people that I could depend on. They’re gonna deal with levels of stress and weird things that they’re not used to,” said Dana White via TIME.

When Dana White started UFC, he wasn’t willing to let female fighters participate; however, everything changed with Ronda Rousey. Since then, the promotion has made several other female superstars, including Joanna Jędrzejczyk, Valentina Shevchenko, Amanda Nunes, etc.

However, none of the active big female fighters got the opportunity to fight at the White House event. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to see whether the card can live up to the hype.

UFC champion predicts UFC’s White House main event

Ilia Topuria is one of the biggest stars on the roster, making his first lightweight title defense since capturing gold. For Justin Gaethje, this could be the final opportunity to challenge for the lightweight championship and achieve UFC glory.

Current welterweight champion Islam Makhachev recently discussed the matchup, sharing his thoughts and predictions ahead of the highly anticipated fight.

“The main event at the White House. Of course I’m not counting Gaethje out. He’s an old warhorse with a lot of experience but Topuria is younger. It will be great fight for the fans. I believe this fight definitely won’t go the distance and I’m leaning toward Topuria winning,” said Islam Makhachev via UFC.

Islam Makhachev has expressed interest in fighting Ilia Topuria, a matchup many fans consider one of the biggest possible. However, the pound-for-pound king remains focused on defending his welterweight title against the division’s top contenders next.

With advancements in artificial intelligence, the UFC has begun incorporating AI-generated visuals and videos to promote fights more efficiently. Despite the technological appeal, many fans have voiced criticism, arguing that relying on AI undermines human creativity and disrespects professional artists.

During the recent post-fight presser of UFC Seattle, CEO Dana White was asked about this in detail. White gave a rather blunt reply, totally avoiding the complaints from the fans. 

“Give me a f**king break. AI is coming, and if we’re using AI who gives a sh*t. People are upset, and we should use artists? How about this. Shut the f**k up and watch the fights,” said Dana White via UFC Seattle post-fight presser. 

Dana White has repeatedly expressed interest in working with Mark Zuckerberg to integrate advanced AI into UFC systems. He has been particularly eager to introduce AI-driven pound-for-pound rankings, aiming to modernize fighter evaluation and fan engagement metrics.

White believes such innovation alongside Zuckerberg’s technological vision could revolutionize how rankings are calculated, analyzed, and presented to global audiences. In another move reflecting that partnership enthusiasm, he renamed the Las Vegas Apex facility as Meta Apex, symbolically embracing the future.

These steps underline White’s commitment to blending sports entertainment with cutting-edge technology, even as fans remain divided over increasing AI. It would be interesting to see whether the promotion shifts to 100 percent AI-driven content over professionally shot videos.

Dana White updates on UFC’s recent fallout with Jon Jones 

Following the announcement of the upcoming UFC White House event, former heavyweight champion Jon Jones was never extremely disappointed. According to Jones, he was treated unfairly by the UFC and wasn’t given the money he wanted to come back. 

White mentioned that Jones is suffering from severe arthritis, and the promotion had no interest in bringing him back. During the recent press conference, White again spoke in detail about what happened behind the scenes. 

“Jon Jones knows exactly what happened and this happens every week at the UFC…You think Jon Jones is clamoring to fight…we have to give this guy 3 fights a year if he really wants to fight…and if we don’t we have to pay him,” Dana White continued. 

Recently, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou backed Jon Jones and called out UFC for disrespecting their GOAT. Ngannou has himself experienced a similar relationship with UFC and mentioned that he has always warned fighters about this.

Ahead of the fight, during the first press conference, Rousey didn’t shy away from taking some serious shots at UFC and Dana White. Rousey slammed UFC for its pay structure and labeled it as the worst place to go as a young MMA fighter to earn money. 

According to Ronda Rousey, Jake Paul‘s MVP is a fighter’s first promotion, and she is glad working with such an organisation. Following these comments, UFC veteran Jorge Masvidal shared his opinion and backed Dana White against Rousey. 

“Her eyes, her nose, her teeth like what type of demonology is she on? This is spooky. Ronda’s never been the best on the mic. She just says things that are weird. Her taking shots at Dana – Dana made you,” said Jorge Masvidal via Deatherow MMA. 

This can be done

Ronda Rousey was dominating in Strikeforce when the UFC signed her, bringing women’s MMA into the mainstream spotlight globally. Her arrival changed women’s sports forever, as she became the inaugural UFC women’s bantamweight champion and a global superstar.

Rousey earned millions through fights, endorsements, and Hollywood, inspiring countless young athletes while becoming a powerful cultural icon worldwide. Despite past remarks about Dana White, he has largely supported Rousey and wished her success in her upcoming ventures.

UFC star opens up on why legends like Ronda Rousey have grown critical of the promotion

UFC has had beef with its top fighters for as long as fans can remember, and most have been public. Apart from the whole anti-trust lawsuit, many other fighters and veterans have come forward to mention how they were mistreated.

Apart from Ronda Rousey, other big names such as Jon Jones have also been very vocal about their severed relationship with UFC. Former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley recently talked about this and shared his unfiltered opinion. 

“It’s crazy to see all these top guys have an issue with the UFC. Who would Conor, Jones, and Ronda be without the UFC? If they feel like they’re being treated unfairly, speak up. You’ve got to be grateful for what you’ve gotten from the UFC,” said Sean O’Malley via his YouTube. 

Currently, the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano card is shaping up to be incredible with the new addition of Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry. Fans are directly comparing it with the upcoming much-anticipated UFC Freedom 250 card. It will be interesting if Jake Paul’s fight card can surpass UFC and break the current monopoly over MMA.

Everyone assumed he was waiting for his opportunity to fight at the UFC White House card. But, it was announced without him in it. Instead, the UFC booked events moving forward while leaving Covington on the shelf for fourteen months. Now he has slammed the organisation for leaving him off the card and accused them of disrespect and mismanagement.

Colby Covington Angry About Not Being On The UFC White House Card

Covington was talking to Submission Radio and expressed his frustration with the UFC. The White House card snub isn’t the only issue generating his outrage right now. The UFC also has him waiting for the winner of Mike Malott versus Gilbert Burns at UFC Winnipeg, meaning he won’t fight until late 2026 at the earliest.

When initially asked about his relationship with the promotion, Covington kept his response characteristically blunt and aggressive. He stated they’ve done him dirty his whole career, offering detailed examples of disrespect that go back years.

“I said I’d fight anybody on God’s green Earth on the White House card just to get the opportunity to fight in front of my hero, Donald Trump. They’re upsetting their hardcore fanbaseThey just have me sitting around for the last 14 months doing nothing, twiddling my thumbs. They haven’t offered me one f***ing fight. Like, they’re supposed to be offering me three fights a year by contractual law…Like, they’re not giving me an opportunity to earn. It’s sh*tty because it’s like, dude, not only are you not giving me a chance to earn, you’re not letting me earn anywhere else.”

The 38 year-old former interim champion expanded his explanation when the host specifically asked about his fourteen months of inactivity. Covington made clear the UFC hasn’t offered him a single fight during this entire period despite contractual obligations. He then referenced how management stripped his interim title years ago because he wouldn’t accept a fight on four weeks notice after nasal surgery.

That reasoning reveals how much frustration Covington harbors about being classified as an independent contractor while being controlled like an employee. Covington holds loyalty toward the promotion based on his years of service and promotional work. But his comments make clear that loyalty means nothing when management decides to shelf a fighter indefinitely.

Hunter Campbell Becomes Primary Target

Covington specifically called out Hunter Campbell during his media appearances this week. Campbell oversees major fight bookings for the UFC now. According to Covington, Hunter has despised him from day one of their working relationship together. He claims Campbell only dealt with him because Covington was the biggest welterweight star at the time. Now Campbell can ignore Covington’s weekly calls requesting fight opportunities without any consequences.

The UFC even blocked Covington from competing against Arman Tsarukyan in Real American Freestyle wrestling recently. That matchup would have been massive for the wrestling promotion after Covington’s dominant performance against Luke Rockhold. But management shut it down immediately, citing rules about active UFC fighters competing against each other externally.

“Hunter’s hated me from the start. He’s never liked to deal with me, but he’s had to deal with me because I was their biggest star in the welterweight division. So they just lost their biggest star and it sucks I can’t get fun fights…We’re treated as independent contractors, but they’re treating me like an employee right now. I tried to go wrestle and do a jiu-jitsu match against Arman, they said no. No active UFC guys are allowed to compete against each other outside the UFC.”

Apparently Tsarukyan will now face Dillon Danis next. Covington concluded by saying he’s done playing the company man role after years of disrespect. His last fight at UFC Tampa against Joaquin Buckley ended in a one-sided defeat. He stepped in on short notice for that bout expecting appreciation. Instead, he got fourteen months of silence and no opportunities whatsoever moving forward. The former interim champion now focuses on Real American Freestyle while waiting to see if the UFC will ever call on him again.

However, recent reports suggested that the official date for the event has been shifted from June 14. Those same reports further claimed that the White House event will instead take place on June 26. Following that speculation, White took to Instagram and firmly denied any such possibility while condemning the false reporting. “Media is so full of S**T,” wrote White on Instagram. 

The UFC’s White House event is projected to become the most expensive production in the company’s history, potentially costing 60 million dollars. Reports suggest the June 14 fight card on the South Lawn would more than double UFC 306 at The Sphere’s 20 million production expenses.

Dana White has repeatedly claimed the White House show will surpass previous events in spending and complexity. White described the ambitious project as the most logistically challenging undertaking the promotion has ever attempted in its 30-year history.

The promotion plans to construct a temporary Octagon on the South Lawn with bleachers and seating for 5,000 guests. President Donald Trump also teased a stadium setup capable of holding around 100,000 fans for the spectacle.

UFC veteran reveals why Dana White signed Conor Benn 

In one of the most shocking developments, Conor Benn left Matchroom Boxing to join Zuffa Boxing. The decision was followed by a heated verbal altercation between Dana White and Eddie Hearn, where both exchanged personal remarks. Reports claim White signed Benn with a $15 million deal, signaling a major power shift.

Shockingly, Benn reportedly never even called Hearn, who supported the fighter throughout several difficult periods. Hearn was left devastated by the abrupt move, feeling betrayed after years of loyalty. White later took to Instagram and openly flexed on his rival, celebrating the high-profile signing.

Demetrious Johnson recently discussed the situation, sharing his measured opinion on the unexpected development in boxing. “I think Dana White did it out of spite. I think Dana White did it because he can do that. I think Dana White is showing those guys I can make this big payday. Like, $15 million, boom, there you go,” said Demetrious Johnson via YouTube. 

Following the move, Hearn has warned the UFC to brace for backlash from fighters who do not earn anywhere close to $15 million. Nevertheless, with big names such as Ryan Garcia circulating in discussions, it will be interesting to see who ultimately agrees to face Benn in his Zuffa debut.

The move followed recent criticism from Hearn, who described White’s new venture as underwhelming and lacking real boxing appeal publicly. Following the incident, Hearn was devastated, struggling to accept that Benn would walk away so suddenly from their partnership.

“Disappointing. I probably misjudged him as a person, but he’s got to do what he feels is right for himself. I guess there will always be part of me that thinks, was it worth taking a piece of my soul for that. But you have to do what you think is right at the time… This was a bit of an extreme situation and as I’ve said, maybe it was my fault. I misjudged that loyalty. I just felt that he would never do that to us because of what we did. But I was wrong,” Eddie Hearn via Boxing Scene.

According to Hearn, Conor Benn chose not to call him on the phone following the move, which was painful for the British promoter. On the other hand, Dana White posted a picture of himself smoking cigars as he took on one of the biggest names under Hearn’s promotion. 

As expected, many experts were shocked and called it one of the biggest betrayals in the history of boxing. Heavyweight Derek Chisora also shared his comments, which went viral on the internet. “Boxing is full of s**mbags. Even me I’m a  s**mbag,” Chisora via Instagram. 

How Eddie Hearn helped Conor Benn to become a superstar

Eddie Hearn played a crucial role in shaping Conor Benn’s career from his earliest professional beginnings in 2016. He signed Benn under Matchroom, guiding his pro debut and consistently placing him on major platforms alongside Anthony Joshua.

Hearn strategically secured Benn spots on high-profile pay-per-view cards, accelerating his visibility and commercial growth. Under Matchroom’s banner, Benn remained undefeated while Hearn maneuvered him toward a significant WBA title opportunity.

Even after Benn’s failed drug test collapsed the Chris Eubank Jr bout, Hearn publicly defended him. Facing widespread backlash, Hearn stood firm, loaning Benn hundreds of thousands during his prolonged suspension.

When an independent panel cleared Benn, Hearn revived his career by securing a stadium showdown. Despite setbacks and criticism, Hearn repeatedly delivered opportunities, financial backing, and unwavering loyalty throughout Benn’s turbulent professional journey.

Chris Eubank Jr also got involved in the controversy and publicly labelled Conor Benn and Eddie Hearn “scumbags,” mocking their relationship and fallout. He sarcastically joked about the situation online, calling it “scumbag on scumbag violence,” ridiculing Benn for leaving Hearn despite his support. 

Eubank Jr also questioned Benn’s loyalty, implying Benn betrayed the man who helped him when times were toughest, making light of their drama. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to see when Benn will make his Zuffa Boxing debut and against whom.

The post “Boxing Is Full of S**mbags”- Internet Erupts as Conor Benn Dumps Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom for Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing first appeared on Sidekick Boxing.

White officially announced that Zuffa Boxing will crown its first world champion on March 8, 2026. The cruiserweight title fight will headline the event, signaling White’s serious intentions within the boxing landscape. Jai Opetaia will face Brandon Glanton under the Zuffa Boxing banner for the inaugural championship.

However, Opetaia’s recognized IBF and Ring Magazine belts will not be defended in this particular matchup. In a recent interview with IFL TV, Hearn went on an explosive rant, mocking White’s idea of creating new promotional titles. 

“That is the cringiest s**t I’ve ever seen. You know I would never do that, but I was just laughing because I was reading about, whenever it is, Jai Opetaia fighting Brandon Glanton for the Zuffa championship of the world, and I was thinking, ‘Do you know what? I could just do that.’ That would be quite amusing. Why don’t we do an iFL one as well?”

Similar to Dana White, Eddie Hearn has spent most of his life around boxing, following his father Barry Hearn, who founded Matchroom Boxing in 1982. Matchroom has fighters who have captured world titles across major sanctioning bodies. He believes creating a separate promotional championship belt system is unnecessary. 

“Do you think I would disrespect boxing that much, where I would say we are going to bring out the Matchroom Boxing World Championship? You’d have to be — I mean, my ego is out of control, right? That would have to be beyond anything I could ever fathom,” Eddie Hearn continued.

Previously, White has addressed Hearn’s animosity towards him and mentioned that he didn’t expect this welcome. On the other hand, the British promoter is ready for the challenge and believes he’s the biggest boxing promoter in the history of the sport.

Boxing legend criticises Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing 

Zuffa Boxing, backed by TKO Group Holdings and Saudi Arabia’s Sela, represents Dana White’s bold attempt to reshape professional boxing globally. The promotion aims to create a UFC-style structure with centralized events, exclusive contracts, and its own championship system.

By bypassing traditional sanctioning bodies like the WBC, WBA, and IBF, White seeks to eliminate fragmented titles. White claims he is here to save boxing, promising transparency, consistency, and the best fighting the best. However, his ambitious statements have sparked backlash from critics, including former champion Roy Jones Jr.

“Your guys in the UFC and make more money in boxing in one night than they make their whole career in the UFC. That’s a problem! Balance the problem in your sport and make my sport better! But don’t go and take my sport and do the same to do with your sport,” Roy Jones Jr via Fight Hub TV. 

In the inaugural Zuffa Boxing bout between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, the Mexican star reportedly earned over $100 million. According to Eddie Hearn, UFC fighters could revolt over lower fight purses compared to the massive payouts of Dana White’s boxing venture.

White has openly spoken about having several revolutionary ideas that he believes could fundamentally change the structure of boxing. Throughout this period, Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has consistently criticized his rival and questioned Zuffa Boxing’s direction.

In a recent interview, Hearn discussed the potential clash between UFC fighters and top executives over long-standing pay concerns. He highlighted unfair money structures across White’s MMA and boxing promotions, suggesting it could eventually lead to serious internal conflict.

“I think it’s fascinating what’s going to happen. I think there will be a revolt from the UFC fighters. I think they’ll be thinking, ‘Why are we making so much less than the boxers when the show and the business and the revenue is so much higher? ” Eddie Hearn via IFL TV.

Eddie Hearn has promoted several high-profile fights recently, strengthening his position as one of boxing’s most influential and successful promoters. He believes he is ready to go head-to-head with any rival, including Dana White, in order to remain at the top. 

Ahead of the UFC’s return on Saturday with UFC 324, Zuffa Boxing will stage its inaugural event Friday night in Las Vegas. Dana White faces a demanding week as he balances Zuffa Boxing’s official launch alongside the UFC’s first event of 2026.

As White begins his newest combat sports venture, skepticism remains about Zuffa Boxing’s ability to impact the sport meaningfully. Despite doubts, rumored negotiations with heavyweight great Oleksandr Usyk suggest ambition behind the project’s future direction.

UFC veteran Justin Gaethje complains to Dana White about fighter’s pay

The debate surrounding UFC fighter pay has existed for many years, repeatedly resurfacing amid growing revenue and global expansion. Fighters receive a much smaller percentage of UFC revenue compared to athletes in traditional leagues like the NBA, NFL, or boxing.

This disparity has fueled criticism from fans and fighters, who argue that compensation does not reflect risks, popularity, or performance levels. Recently, UFC 324 main event fighter Justin Gaethje spoke openly about pay following the organization’s new 7.7 billion Paramount deal.

“Oh man, to have 14 bonuses and not equal up to a million dollars, it’s not right. It should be a lot more than that. I hear Daniel Cormier saying that everybody’s going to get paid more on this card. I’m not getting $1 more than I would have if this deal didn’t happen,” Justin Gaethje via UFC 324 Media Day. 

However, Dana White responded by claiming Justin Gaethje was offered more money, but the veteran ultimately chose to ignore it. Nevertheless, the UFC CEO has introduced changes to pay structures, including doubling performance bonuses to $100,000 at events.

White also added a $25,000 finishing bonus for fighters, aiming to further incentivize exciting and decisive performances. It will be interesting to see whether these changes encourage fighters to take more risks and deliver more entertaining fights.

McGregor previously stated he would fight his old rival, Michael Chandler, at the event and confidently predicted a knockout victory. Chandler also expressed excitement about the matchup and waited for an official announcement with growing anticipation. However, Dana White denied the possibility in a recent interview, saying, “No, that was a couple years ago.” 

The statement ended immediate speculation about the matchup and left the future of the proposed fight completely uncertain. The fight was originally scheduled for UFC 303, but Conor McGregor’s injury forced the promotion to cancel the highly anticipated matchup. 

Nevertheless, after White’s comments, the ‘Notorious’ posted on X, expressing motivation to fight anyone the promotion decides to place before him. “Pick who ya want! The Mac sweats nothing and nobody. I’m TASTY SHOTS,” wrote McGregor via X.

One of the biggest reasons for Conor McGregor’s interest in the White House event is his close personal relationship with President Donald Trump. The Trump family recently invested $23 into McGregor’s business, strengthening their professional association. Despite uncertainty, McGregor remains motivated to deliver a grand comeback performance later this year.

Will Conor McGregor fight Floyd Mayweather?

In 2017, Conor McGregor faced Floyd Mayweather in one of the biggest cross-promotion boxing bouts in history. The Irish superstar lost against the undefeated legend, yet his performance earned respect from boxing and MMA fans. 

Despite the defeat, McGregor reportedly earned nearly $100 million, making the fight one of his biggest fights financially. It seems like the ‘Notorious’ is ready for a rematch and recently called out Mayweather for the White House event. 

“Fun times @danawhite, @ufc! @FloydMayweather, when you are ready for that promised MMA bout, I am here. The White House is nice in the summer I heard. Just kidding Mike! Although… I could fight both the same night. Floyd MMA? EASY. 10 seconds,” wrote Conor McGregor via X. 

With Dana White entering boxing through TKO, this long-discussed collaboration now appears more realistic than ever before. Nevertheless, after UFC 324, fans are expecting major updates regarding plans for the highly anticipated White House event.

On top of that, massive viewing areas are expected to attract around 80000 fans, and fighters are hyped to be a part of it. As expected, all this attracted some of the biggest superstars in the UFC roster, and White has promised a blockbuster fight card. In a recent interview, the POTUS gave a new update about the event and talked about the championship bouts.

“We’re going to have a lot of events. The great Dana White is building an arena, and they’re going to have eight or nine championship fights, the biggest fights they’ve ever had. Every one is a championship fight, and every one is a legendary type of fight. He’s actually holding back fights right now for six months so he can do it for 250,” said Donald Trump via press conference.
