White made the announcement during an important moment in the UFC 326<\/a> broadcast on CBS. It marked the first time that the channel has aired an event since Paramount<\/a> began a $7.7 billion partnership with the promotion in January.<\/p>\n

UFC White House card confirmed by Dana White for June 14<\/h2>\n

During tonight\u2019s UFC 326 broadcast on CBS, Dana White<\/a> confirmed that the main event of UFC White House<\/a> would be a lightweight title fight between the interim champion and the returning undisputed champion.<\/p>\n

It will be one of two title fights on the card, with the co-main event pitting Alex Pereira against Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title as Tom Aspinall awaits news on his comeback.<\/p>\n

White also unveiled the rest of the event, which has been branded \u2018Freedom Fights 250\u2019 after the nation\u2019s 250th birthday. Sean O\u2019Malley will face Aiemann Zahabi, with Mauricio Ruffy taking on Michael Chandler and Bo Nickal battling Kyle Daukaus. <\/p>\n

The card will kick off with a mouth-watering clash between Diego Lopes and Steve Garcia.<\/p>\n

The event will feature just six fights, less than half of a usual numbered event or fight night. It is a special broadcast, and will land between UFC 328 and UFC 329 without being branded like what used to be a pay-per-view.<\/p>\n

Disaster almost struck as UFC White House lost fight 24 hours before announcement<\/h2>\n

As with any major UFC event, it was not smooth sailing for Dana White or his team over the past 24 hours. While he was arriving at Friday\u2019s Power Slap show, the UFC CEO learned that a fight had just fallen out at the eleventh hour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Footage shared by MMA Junkie\u2019s Mike Bohn appeared to show the moment Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell revealed the news to matchmakers Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard. While the former managed to remain somewhat coy, the latter couldn\u2019t help but exclaim something indecipherable.<\/p>\n

After admitting to being hungover following a heavy night out with Kid Rock on Thursday, White appeared on Nina Drama\u2019s stream, where he was asked about the card. \u201cI\u2019ll tell you something about the White House fight,\u201d he began. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo we\u2019ve been working on this thing non-stop and one of the fights literally just fell out when I walked in here. I think Hunter k\u2014ed himself. One of the fights fell off tonight, brutal.\u201d When Drama replied that such news \u2018wouldn\u2019t help his hangover,\u2019 White looked visibly irked.<\/p>\n
