“Nonsense”: Netanyahu Rumor Sparks Stir Around White House UFC Event

Rumors spread that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would attend the prestigious event, and Dana White was forced to deny them firmly.

A major stir is surrounding the UFC event, with persistent rumors circulating about the show, which will take place on the night between Sunday and Monday at the White House in Washington, in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States. President Donald Trump is expected to host UFC fighters at his residence, with the main focus on the fight between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title.

According to the rumors, the person expected to be present at the event was none other than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The rumors reached the organization’s president, Dana White, who was forced to deny them and called them “complete nonsense.”

As mentioned, earlier today the arena set up at the White House and expected to host the prestigious event was unveiled, and the show, which will be broadcast live on 5PLUS on the night between Sunday and Monday, will include seven major fights, including two stunning title bouts. In the main event, Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane will fight for the interim heavyweight belt, which will also determine the identity of the next opponent for champion Tom Aspinall for the undisputed title.

In the co-main event, Ilia Topuria will defend his belt against Justin Gaethje, in an intense matchup between two people who have not exactly liked each other lately. MM4 Did you find a language error?
