UFC Insider Cautions Against Overloading White House Event With Multiple Title Fights: “I Think It’s A Big Mistake”

UFC potentially stacking the White House card with multiple title fights could be a recipe for disaster, according to a veteran voice.

In partnership with the U.S. government, the MMA promotion has announced a landmark fight event scheduled for June 14 on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump said the event would deliver an experience unlike anything MMA fans have seen before, while also suggesting the card could feature an unprecedented eight or nine championship fights.
