However, President Donald Trump has now mentioned several things about the card, including that there will be an unprecedented amount of championship bouts on the card.
While in attendance at the Kennedy Center Honors, President Donald Trump spoke about the upcoming event a The White House, noting that there will be ‘eight or nine’ championship fights on the card.
“UFC on June 14th. It’s going to be June 14th next year. They’re building an arena. The great Dana White’s building an arena, and they’re going to have eight or nine championship fights. The biggest fights they’ve ever had. Every one’s a championship fight, and everyone’s a legendary type of fight. He’s actually holding back fights right now for six months so he can do it for the 250. I think 250 is going to be amazing. I think the arena is going to be 5,000 or 6,000 seats right in front of the front door of the White House. and 100,000 people in the back where they’re putting up eight or ten very big screens. That’s going to be an exciting night. So many people are asking for tickets to UFC.”
