have you watched gaethje and topuria fight before? its impossible that this isnt an awesome fight. honestly the whole card is absolutely stacked with exciting fights.

This is the first I read of either of those guys, assuming those are fighters and not words found on the back side of a tube of toothpaste.

No, there is a deep history of the President being the steward of the house. Of course, it belongs to the country, but basically when a person is President, what he says goes on the grounds. That is how it has always worked. Andrew Jackson had cows and chickens on the grounds.

It is a solid card, but nothing like ANYONE expected when it was announced.


I personally don't see this as a good fit for a celebration of the US birthday, would be perfect for Chechnya and, honestly, more fitting for Brazil.

As for better options basketball or volleyball would be more appropriate than even baseball or football.


It's a nice card for sure. But when I think greatest card in history/historic event at the white house, I don't think a fight with Gaethje as a headliner as worthy of that. Nothing like celebrating America's 250th anniversary with a Spaniard whooping an Americans arse

I was a little surprised there aren't more Americans on the card. Though that would have made for a lesser card if you do that so I don't have a problem with all the different nationalities.

Really wish they could have gotten a Jones v Aspernal main event. That would have been epic. Also surprised that since they are letting McGregor back they didn't put him in there. Or Amanda Nunes. I just think there are ways they could have made it a little more of an all timer as far as the card goes.

On May 31, 1975, First Daughter Susan Ford hosted her high school senior prom at the White House. It was an incredibly loud, upbeat, and modern gathering, transforming the usually stuffy East Room into a dance floor for 74 students from T.C. Williams High School. It remains the first and only prom ever held in the White House.

You proved my point for me then. He is a steward, not the owner.

which fighter is from chechnya on this card? every fight except one has an american. 2 brazillian fighters on the whole card. what are you beating your gums about exactly? sorry I forgot about diego lopes so 3 brazillians.

jones has turned down multiple fights against tom and tom is also injured. nunes opponent is also injured and she has nobody else worthy of fighting.

every fight except poatan vs gane has at least one american fighter

the ufc said they didnt want to put conor on a card that doesnt have a gate(live crowd)

gaethje is one of the most exciting fighters in the sports history.
