UFC White House card is all set to take place in next few months. An Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) card to be staged on the White House South Lawn in June will have six or seven fights and about 3,000 to 4,000 people on site, organizers said on Friday.

Ari Emanuel, chief executive officer and executive chairman of TKO Group, UFC's parent company, outlined plans on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show." "At the White House, I think it's 3,000 to 4,000 and then there will be other in other areas," Emanuel said.

Large screens to view the event were expected to be raised in other places near the White House for larger crowds to watch the show, which was also expected to be telecast on CBS and Paramount+.
