The US President has revealed that he wants to stage a fight in his residence with more than 20,000 fans in attendance to mark 250 years of American independence.
Trump revealed his plans in Iowa at the beginning of a year's worth of celebrations for America's 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.
The politician - a UFC fan who is close friends with the organisation's boss Dana White - also announced a culminating festival at Washington's National Mall and an athletics competition featuring high school athletes from across the nation.
Trump said: “So every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250. And I even think we’re going to have a UFC fight.
"Think of this on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there."
A White House spokesperson said they had no further details to share beyond Trump's announcement but press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the President was "dead serious" about the plans.
She wrote on social media site X: "It's going to be EPIC!"
UFC chief White has backed Trump throughout his political career and made an impassioned speech after the Republican leader secured a second term at the Oval Office last November.
He said at Trump's election night party: "Nobody deserves this more than him, and nobody deserves this more than his family does. This is what happens when the machine comes after you.
"This is karma, ladies and gentlemen. He deserves this. They deserve it as a family."
White also described Trump as "tougher and more badass than anybody" after he survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year.
He told The New Yorker: "Donald Trump is tougher and more badass than anybody.
"You can only pray that you’re a quarter of the man that Donald Trump was when a guy tried to take seven shots at his head with a high-powered rifle with a f****** scope on it."
