In recent days, sensational news has spread in the sports world, particularly among mixed martial arts fans. The prestigious Spanish publication "MARCA" had reported that a fight between Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria was planned as part of the UFC tournament at the White House. Although such a big poster was considered an interesting and potentially high-revenue event for fans, this news did not go far.
UFC President Dana White reacted sharply to these rumors, calling them completely baseless. According to White, the confrontation between Makhachev and Topuria has not been discussed within the organization at all. He urged fans not to trust unverified information circulating on the internet, but only official announcements from the promotion. This statement by White once again showed that the UFC strictly controls its information policy and fights against misleading news.
Recall that the UFC tournament to be held at the White House on June 14, 2026, is highly anticipated. Currently, the clash between lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and host representative Justin Gaethje has been officially confirmed as the main event of the tournament. Experts believe that this fight will be the central event of the evening. All other news remains just rumors for now, and it is recommended not to trust them until the UFC makes an official statement.
