UFC CEO Dana White stated that the recent event, Freedom 250, held at the White House, will not be repeated. The event, which celebrated President Donald Trump's 80th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, featured Justin Gaethje winning the UFC lightweight title. White described the experience as unique but noted logistical challenges and high costs, including a $60 million expenditure by UFC, as reasons for not hosting similar events in the future. Gaethje earned $825,000 in bonuses for his performance, and Trump attended the event, expressing enthusiasm on social media. Despite the event's success, White emphasized that UFC will return to traditional venues for future fights.
