Dana White plans on digging his heels into the highly-anticipated UFC White Card<\/a> as soon as UFC 324<\/a> concludes this coming weekend LIVE on Paramount+<\/a>. This includes matchmaking for the June event beginning this coming Monday, which is one day earlier than usual for UFC\u2019s fight-making bunch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While UFC is about to stage the promotion\u2019s official debut on Paramount+ with a main event between Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje<\/a>, fight fans can\u2019t help but lend some attention to the growing spectacle that is the White House card. White and company have big plans for President Donald Trump\u2019s birthday bash this June, including White House walkouts, fights on the White House lawn, an 85,000 person viewing party<\/a>, special party guests<\/a> from countries all around the world, and an overall Washington D.C. takeover.<\/p>\n

It all sounds nice on paper, but if UFC doesn\u2019t put together a dynamite fight card with memorable action then it could all be for nothing. That puts a lot of pressure on whichever fighters are selected to compete on the historic card, as well as White and his team members as they build the event and fight card lineup from scratch.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, White sat down with TMZ Sports<\/a> to discuss a variety of topics and eventually settled on the UFC White House card. White revealed that his team will start matchmaking for the presidential event Monday of next week. That\u2019s one day earlier than normal matchmaker meetings and a few weeks sooner than White\u2019s original start date next month.<\/p>\n

Check it out below and let us know who you think makes White\u2019s cut and lands on the White House lawn this June:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Saturday, when the fights end. Usually every Tuesday we have matchmaking. We will be matchmaking Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we\u2019ll be match making the White House card as soon as that fight is done,\u201d said White.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t thought about it yet,\u201d he added when asked if the UFC White House card will be a numbered event or something special. \u201cWe haven\u2019t gotten that far. I said I wouldn\u2019t touch this card until February. Now I think we\u2019ll have it dialed in by the second week of February.\u201d<\/p>\n
