Dana White is betting big on the UFC White House event.
Last week, President Trump boasted that the upcoming UFC White House card is going to put up historic ratings.
“It’s right at the front door to the White House, and you’ll never see it again,” Trump told Fox News. “It’s never happened before, and you’ll never see it again. It’s great and the UFC’s going to have all the best fighters in the world coming that night. They all say we want to fight at the White House. Dana is an amazing man, he’s done an amazing job, he’s put together something that – this will be the highest-rated event, maybe one of them ever in sports.”
It appears that White also believes the UFC White House event will have massive ratings.
“For UFC fans all over the world, this is a very unique experience for everybody, we’re expecting Super Bowl type numbers for this fight.”

As of today, Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano holds the record for the highest viewership in the United States, with an average of 9.3 million viewers.
It’s currently unclear whether the UFC will be able to break the record, given that the Rousey-Carano fight aired on Netflix, which has a higher reach than Paramount+.
