Dana White says UFC production chief Craig Borsari has proposed a new event concept following UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.
White discussed the idea on The Pat McAfee Show on Aug. 11, 2026. He said the plan still requires more groundwork and did not announce its format, location, or date.
White’s complete answer about Borsari’s proposal was:
“Thank you. And, and, uh, yeah, I mean, there’ll never be anything like the White House ever again. I mean, that night, uh, you know, we, we already had high expectations for it and, and I was blown away. It’s the greatest thing that I’ve ever been a part of. Being there live was, was amazing. Um, but now my head of production, Craig Borsari, is so cocky after he, he absolutely killed that event.”
“We are, we are talking about something, uh, right now that he came up with. This was, this was his idea and, uh, I love it. I, I, I, I have to—I have to do some more, uh, groundwork on it and, and if, uh, if I end up doing this, I’ll announce it here first.”
Craig Borsari Oversees UFC Content And Event Production
UFC identifies Borsari as its Chief Content Officer and Executive Producer. White called him the promotion’s head of production during the interview.
UFC Freedom 250 took place on June 14, 2026, on the White House South Lawn in Washington, D.C., and streamed on Paramount+. UFC’s official post showing the event setup is embedded below.
The promotion’s previous venue-driven production was UFC 306 at Sphere in Las Vegas on Sept. 14, 2024. White did not say Borsari’s new proposal would revisit either venue, and the UFC has not announced the proposed event.
