Commentator Jon Anik claims the UFC White House card could be filled with title fights. President Donald Trump recently said eight to nine title fights could take place at the UFC White House on June 14. While Anik believes eight is an ambitious number, he revealed plans for six or seven title fights. Anik notes that UFC 324 is scheduled for January 24, followed by UFC 325 a week later. The champions of these numbered events should ideally be ready to fight again in June. Meanwhile, UFC 326 in March will be headlined by a BMF title fight between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, which will not affect plans for title fights at the White House.

“Eight sounds idealistic and incredibly ambitious,” Anik said on the channel
“JAXXON Podcast”. “But I do believe we’re moving in a direction where you might see six or seven undisputed titles contested on the White House lawn…They’ll get UFC 324 and UFC 325 on February 1…The first numbered event in March will be topped by a non-undisputed title, the BMF belt, which doesn’t really count. Then you think about a numbered event in April or May, and then on June 14, a bunch of these. champions will be available if not sustained.
President Trump initially announced plans for the White House map last year. A plethora of fighters have since rallied for a spot on the White House map. While Conor McGregor is teasing a return, Jon Jones ended his retirement within weeks and is making his case to Dana White for a spot in the White House.
