As the nation prepares for America’s upcoming 250th birthday, President Trump said there will be special events at national parks and historical sites across the country—including a special one at the White House.

"Every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of ‘America250’ and I even think we’re going to have a UFC fight," Trump said Thursday during a speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. 

"Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White? We’re going to have a UFC fight. We’re going to have a UFC fight — think of this — on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. 

"We’re going to build a little — we’re not, Dana is going to do it. Dana is great, one of a kind — going to be a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20,000 to 25,000 people, and we’re going to do that as part of ‘250’ also."

A UFC spokesperson confirmed the event to NBC News, noting details would be released “in due time.”

Former two-division champion Conor McGregor expressed strong interest in fighting at the event. 

"To return at the White House ... would be a very intriguing offer and would bring me back in to focus on my return correctly," McGregor said in a separate post.
