Dana White has said he’ll be revealing the full UFC White House card during Saturday night’s broadcast.
It’s a packed week for White, with UFC 326 kicking off fight week and three events lined up from Friday through Sunday. Things start with Power Slap on Friday, followed by Saturday’s main event at T-Mobile Arena, and then Jai Opetaia’s Zuffa Boxing debut wraps up the weekend at the Apex on Sunday.
If that schedule wasn’t already full enough, White is also planning to unveil the card for UFC White House. Six fights are set to be announced, though he did mention there might still be one final addition to round it out.
Dana White set to reveal full UFC White House lineup on Saturday
In an interview with The Mac Life’s Oscar Willis, Dana White confirmed he’ll announce the entire card on Saturday, following through on his earlier promise to make it public this week.
Plenty of top names are pushing to be part of what could be a landmark event. Jon Jones and Conor McGregor are both in the mix. While McGregor is likely headed for International Fight Week in July, Jones still has a chance to feature.
McGregor is rumoured to be discussing a potential fight against Alex Pereira, which is something he’s openly wanted for some time. While talks have been acknowledged by both sides, no further details have been confirmed yet.

During an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, which was filmed earlier this week and released today, White confirmed the card will feature six fights, with a possible seventh being discussed. He also made it clear that President Donald Trump won’t be involved in any matchmaking decisions.
Speaking from his ‘War Room’ in Las Vegas over a video call, White told Morgan that he already has every fight booked from this weekend up until June 20th. “The whole card is laid out right here on the white board,” he said.
“I’m looking at it right now, all six fights. We’re scheduled to do six fights but I might actually do seven and add one more.” When pressed by Morgan about whether Jon Jones or Conor McGregor would appear on the card, White chose not to give anything away.
