'It's absolutely going to happen': UFC's first fight at White House confirmed by CEO Dana White

After Donald Trump said he wanted to stage a UFC match in White House, CEO Dana White has confirmed it will take place next year to celebrate 250 years of American independence. Donald Trump said last month he wanted to host a UFC match on the White House grounds to celebrate 250 years of American independence. Image: Reuters Hours after Paramount and UFC announced a billion-dollar rights deal, Dana White said he had yet to hear from his friend, President Donald Trump, on his thoughts about the fight company's new streaming home. That was fine with White. The UFC CEO was set to travel to Washington on Aug. 28 to meet with Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, to catch up and discuss logistics on the proposed Fourth of July fight card next year at the White House. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD UFC match in White House 'absolutely' happening Trump said last month he wanted to stage a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. 'It's absolutely going to happen," White told The Associated Press. 'Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House south lawn live on CBS.' The idea of cage fights at the White House would have seemed improbable when the Fertitta brothers purchased UFC for $2 million in 2001 and put White in charge of the fledging fight promotion. White helped steer the company into a $4 billion sale in 2016 and broadcast rights deals with Fox and ESPN before landing owner TKO Group's richest one yet — a seven-year deal with Paramount starting in 2026 worth an average of $1.1 billion a year, with all cards on its streaming platform Paramount+ and select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS. ESPN, Amazon and Netflix and other traditional sports broadcast players seemed more in play for UFC rights — White had previously hinted fights could air across different platforms — but Paramount was a serious contender from the start of the negotiating window. The Paramount and UFC deal came just days after Skydance and Paramount officially closed their $8 billion merger — kicking off the reign of a new entertainment giant after a contentious endeavor to get the transaction over the finish line. White said he was impressed with the vision Skydance CEO David Ellison had for the global MMA leader early in contract talks and how those plans should blossom now that Ellison is chairman and CEO of Paramount. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'When you talk about Paramount, you talk about David Ellison, they're brilliant businessmen, very aggressive, risk takers,' White said. 'They're right up my alley. These are the kind of guys that I like to be in business with.' The $1.1 billion deals marks a notable jump from the roughly $550 million that ESPN paid each year for UFC coverage today. But UFC's new home on Paramount will simplify offerings for fans — with all content set to be available on Paramount+ (which currently costs between $7.99 and $12.99 a month), rather than various pay-per-view fees. Paramount also said it intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. 'as they become available in the future.' UFC matchmakers were set to meet this week to shape what White said would be a loaded debut Paramount card. The UFC boss noted it was still too early to discuss a potential main event for the White House fight night. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'This is a 1-of-1 event,' White said. There are still some moving parts to UFC broadcasts and other television programming it has its hands in as the company moves into the Paramount era. White said there are still moving parts to the deal and that includes potentially finding new homes for 'The Ultimate Fighter,' 'Road To UFC,' and 'Dana White's Contender Series.' It's not necessarily a given the traditional 10 p.m. start time for what were the pay-per-view events would stand, especially on nights cards will also air on CBS. 'We haven't figured that out yet but we will,' White said. And what about the sometimes-contentious issue of fighter pay? Some established fighters have clauses in their contracts that they earn more money the higher the buyrate on their cards. Again, most of those issues are to-be-determined as UFC and Paramount settle in to the new deal — with $1.1 billion headed the fight company's way. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It will affect fighter pay, big time,' White said. 'From deal-to-deal, fighter pay has grown, too. Every time we win, everybody wins.' Boxer Jake Paul wrote on social media the dying PPV model — which was overpriced for fights as UFC saw a decline in buys because of missing star power in many main events — should give the fighters an increased idea of their worth. 'Every fighter in the UFC now has a clear picture of what the revenue is…no more PPV excuses,' Paul wrote. 'Get your worth boys and girls.' White also scoffed at the idea that the traditional PPV model is dead. There are still UFC cards on pay-per-view the rest of the year through the end of the ESPN contract and White and Saudi Arabia have teamed to launch a new boxing venture that starts next year and could use a PPV home. White, though, is part of the promotional team for the Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford fight in September in Las Vegas that airs on Netflix. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's definitely not run it's course,' White said. 'There were guys out there who were interested in pay-per-view and there were guys out there that weren't. Wherever we ended up, that's what we're going to roll with.' White said UFC archival footage 'kills it' in repeat views and those classic bouts also needed a new home once the ESPN deal expires. Just when it seems there's little left for UFC to conquer, White says, there's always more. Why stop at becoming the biggest fight game in the world? Why not rewrite the pecking order in popularity and riches and go for No. 1 in all sports? 'You have the NFL, the NBA, the UFC, and soccer globally,' White said. 'We're coming. We're coming for all of them.'

Superman movie's early OTT release sparks outrage: Furious fans react, ‘Shameful and stupid decision'

James Gunn's much-awaited Superman (2025) hit Indian cinemas on July 11. Now, fans won't have to wait long to watch it at home. This release gives fans another chance to enjoy the superhero adventure. Even if they missed it in theatres or want to watch it again from their living room, here's their chance. As of August 12, Superman earned $581.1 million worldwide, including $332.4 million from the US and Canada and $248.7 million from overseas markets. It is the biggest superhero film of 2025 so far, but its international earnings are lower than its strong home performance. Top overseas markets are the UK ($32.2 million), Mexico ($21 million), Brazil ($16 million), Australia ($14 million), France ($11 million), Spain ($8.7 million), India ($7 million), Korea ($6.2 million each) and Japan ($5.8 million). While it has not broken past records from earlier DC or Marvel films, it has beaten other recent superhero releases. In fact, Superman is the third-highest grosser in 2025 worldwide, behind Jurassic World: Rebirth ($800 million) and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning ($595 million). The film's OTT release in India will be on August 15. It will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. Viewers who like physical copies can get it on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD starting September 23. James Gunn earlier announced the OTT release on social media. 'Superman is coming to your homes this Friday, 8/15. Available now for pre-order. Or catch it while it's still in theaters!' the filmmaker wrote while sharing a teaser clip of the superhero movie. Social media expressed strong emotions against the OTT release. 'Too soon, this decision cuts his legs in theaters. The studio should reconsider these kind of politics,' wrote one user. 'Why so soon?' wondered another while one user commented, 'This seems way too fast, man.' One of them used harsher words, 'Why so early?? Shameful and stupid decision, Superman is still running so strong in theatres and had a lot of box office potential left. Stuff like these damage the theatre going culture.' 'Why can't you leave it longer in theaters?' wrote another. 'I hate this new model, because it kills a movie's box office. A movie should not be available for purchase until at least three months from its debut,' came from another.

Sridevi called this her best film, and it's not ChaalBaaz, Lamhe or Chandni: ‘People started thinking I can act'

Sridevi, one of the most celebrated and versatile actors in Indian cinema, left behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations. With a career spanning over five decades and across multiple languages—including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi—Sridevi was a phenomenon who broke barriers with her charisma, talent, and screen presence. And among her many unforgettable performances, Mr. India remains her personal favourite. Renowned actor Sridevi left a lasting impact on Indian cinema with her diverse roles and unparalleled charisma. Sridevi talks about working with Shekhar Kapur Though she never formally attended acting school, Sridevi's innate talent and magnetic screen presence earned her critical acclaim and popular adoration. From the radiant romance of Chandni and the complex duality in ChaalBaaz, to the bold narrative of Lamhe, Sridevi had a rare ability to blend commercial appeal with emotionally nuanced performances. On 56th birth anniversary of Sridevi, we revisit a past interview of her where she revealed why Mr India was special to her. The 1987 science-fiction adventure, directed by Shekhar Kapur, gave her the space to move beyond her glam image and explore a more layered performance. Speaking about the experience, Sridevi once said in an old interview with Colors Cineplex, "In every film for an artist, it is the director who plays the biggest role. We were spontaneous, but it was the director who helped. For instance, I have worked with Shekhar Kapoor, and I really enjoyed my experience in Mr India. It was my best film, I can say. Because that's the first film which was different from a glamorous role. People started talking, of course, I think she can also act." She particularly recalled the now-iconic Charlie Chaplin sequence, which was initially written as a minor scene. But once Sridevi got into costume and began performing, Shekhar Kapur was so impressed that he expanded it into a major comedic highlight of the film—one that still brings smiles to fans decades later. Sridevi's illustrious character Sridevi's talent did not go unrecognised. Over the course of her illustrious career, she received numerous accolades, including the National Film Award for Best Actress posthumously for her role in Mom (2017), five Filmfare Awards, and the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honour, in 2013. Her performance in films like Sadma, ChaalBaaz, and English Vinglish also earned widespread critical acclaim. Fluent in six languages, Sridevi was a truly pan-Indian star who connected with diverse audiences. Her sudden passing in 2018 left a void that's hard to fill, but her films, characters, and spirit continue to live on.
