We have a lot of space there, said Trump in Iowa, in connection with the inauguration of the celebration of 250 years of American independence, which will take place for a whole year.
Each of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites will have special events to honor America 250. And I think we will even have a UFC match, said Trump.
He added that he sees the fight being held in front of an audience of up to 25,000 spectators.
Trump is a close friend of the MMA league's boss Dana White and has been in place as a spectator at several of the league's competitions. A spokesperson for the White House says that the administration has no further details to share, beyond the president's statement.
