Dana White has high hopes for the number of people who will watch the UFC Freedom 250 event at The White House.
Those hopes, like many of the things White has said over the years, appear detached from reality.
While it might sound like a scene right out of the Mike Judge film Idiocracy, the controversial seven-fight MMA event will indeed take place on the South Lawn of the White House, and President Donald Trump will be in attendance on his 80th birthday.
White, a close friend of Trump’s who has spoken on his behalf on many occasions (but please don’t say he’s political), has high hopes for the event’s viewership, despite the card disappointing some fight fans.
“For UFC fans all over the world, this is a very unique experience for everybody,” White told TNT Sports UK. “We’re expecting Super Bowl-type numbers for this fight.”
