UFC Sets White House Card Press Conference for UFC 328 Fight Week

The move signals a return to live promotion in response to fan pushback over an AI video.

Overview

  • UFC plans an in-person press conference during UFC 328 fight week in Newark to promote the June 14 White House card in Washington, D.C.
  • It is expected to feature all 14 fighters from the seven-bout lineup alongside UFC CEO Dana White.
  • The press event is slated to mirror the big-stage format the promotion used outside Sphere for UFC 306 in 2024.
  • The UFC has not said if this will be part of UFC 328 media activities or a separate event, with details still to come.
  • Following criticism of its AI-made teaser, the UFC released a new 22‑second promo without AI that spotlights Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje and Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane.
