Dana's great. One of a kind," continued Trump. The Trump administration isn't just planning to host a UFC event at the White House, the President expects the fight card to feature at least one world title bout. "We're going to have a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20-25,000 people. And we're going to do that as part of 250 also. We're going to have some incredible events, some professional events, some amateur events. But the UFC fight is going to be a big deal, too," Trump said. On Saturday, during the UFC Nashville Post-Fight Press Conference, UFC CEO Dana White provided more details. Advertisement "Everyone wants to be on this card," White said. "The fight is a year away, so the landscape will change a lot over the next year." "It'll be a pay-per-view card," he continued. "The best card we can possibly put together."

Secret Service failed to stop Trump assassination attempt, Senate report says
The Secret Service failed to prevent the assassination attempt against Donald Trump last year at his Pennsylvania campaign rally, according to a bipartisan Senate report, which accuses the agency of a botched operation snarled by communication fumbles and the repeated denial of extra security assets at a time when the former president faced heightened threats on his life.

One year after Trump assassination attempt, changes at Secret Service but questions remain
WASHINGTON — In many ways, the assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign stop was a perfect storm of failings coming together that allowed 20-year-old Michael Thomas Crooks to climb on top of a nearby building and take eight shots at the once and future president. One attendee was killed, two others wounded and a bullet grazed Trump's ear before a Secret Service counter sniper opened fire on Crooks and killed him. That day jolted an already chaotic race for the White House and solidified Trump's iconic status in his party and beyond.
