UFC President Dana White has confirmed a significant change to the highly anticipated UFC White House Card: one of the six scheduled fights for the June 14 event has been called off. This development comes as the organization actively prepares for the unprecedented fight night.
White shared the news earlier, indicating that a bout planned for the upcoming June 14 card had just fallen through. He remarked on the continuous effort involved in organizing the event, adding with a touch of humor that matchmaker Hunter Campbell was likely feeling the pressure.
The moment the news broke was reportedly observed during the UFC 326 ceremonial weigh-ins, where matchmakers Mick Maynard and Hunter Campbell were seen reacting to the unfortunate update. This instantly sparked widespread fan speculation online regarding which fight or fighter might have been withdrawn. Many attempted to interpret the exchange between the matchmakers, with popular theories circulating about high-profile names such as Jon Jones, Alex Pereira, Arman Tsarukyan, or even Conor McGregor being involved.
Further Details on the UFC White House Card Lineup
Despite this recent cancellation, details surrounding the “Freedom Fights 250: The White House” event largely remain consistent. Dana White had previously stated that the June 14 event, set to take place on the South Lawn of the White House, would feature six fights, with the possibility of a seventh bout being added. It has been confirmed that the card will include two title fights and is designed to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary. The complete fight lineup is expected to be officially unveiled during the UFC 326 broadcast later tonight.
