Ivanka Trump re-enters DC ring for upcoming knockout UFC White House fight
Ivanka Trump helps facilitate White House UFC fight planned for July 2026 as part of America250 celebrations marking the nation's semiquincentennial.
"Ivanka is a longtime fan of UFC and is honored to help Dana White create an exciting event celebrating a sport beloved by so many Americans, as part of our country's 250th celebration," a source close to Ivanka Trump told Fox News Digital this week.

Trump ally and UFC CEO Dana White declared in August that the fight at the White House is "absolutely going to happen," previewing that it would be held in honor of the 250th anniversary of America's independence, July 4, 2026.
"Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House South Lawn live on CBS," White told the Associated Press Wednesday.
"This is a one-of-one event," he added.
White first previewed Ivanka Trump's involvement with planning the White House UFC fight, telling CBS in August that the president wanted his daughter involved.
Ivanka Trump served as a senior advisor to President Trump during his first administration but has kept out of the political spotlight since then.
