Dana White on UFC’s Paramount Deal: ‘It’s Going to Be Huge’
UFC has a history of using its loyal fan base to help develop media entities. The new U.S. rights deal with CBS Sports parent Paramount looks to repeat that formula.

The mixed-martial arts promotion unveiled the lineup for the UFC Freedom 250 event that will be held on the grounds of the White House—marking the first major sporting competition to be held there. The event will be held on June 14, the 80th birthday of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has maintained a close tie with UFC, and particularly its president, Dana White. That date is also less than three weeks before the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
Headlining the card will be a lightweight title unification bout between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. Topuria, generally recognized as one of MMA’s top pound-for-pound fighters, has been on an extended break while resolving a contentious divorce—something that resulted in an out-of-court settlement last month. The Topuria-Gaethje fight had been in doubt in recent days, and another bout fell out of the plans.
“There’s crazy shit with making every card in this business. This is a very hard business to be in and run,” White said. “It’s like a soap opera here every day. But this was a fun one [to put together].”
White, however, dismissed prior rumors of Jon Jones or Conor McGregor being involved in UFC Freedom 250.
“The Jon Jones thing is bullshit,” White said. “I’m not saying they weren’t talking to Jon Jones and that Jon Jones wasn’t interested in the fight. What was even crazier was Jon Jones came out and was like, ‘I’m in negotiations right now for the White House card,’ after I had already sent a text to his lawyer saying, ‘Never going to happen ever.’”
