There's been lots of talks about bringing a fight night to the nation's capital for months, and it apepars that those discussions are nearing a final outcome after White appeared on CBS Tuesday to announce that the network will carry a July 4 event next year at the White House.

The whole concept around the event was to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary and with Trump being a massive UFC supporter it only makes sense that he would likely be present for the historic sporting venture.

Over the years, Trump has frequented many large UFC pay-per-view fights and is often seen by White's side as the sport continues to grow worldwide. UFC recently announced a massive multi-billion deal with CBS to bring use their coverage and make the sport more accessible for viewers.
