Popular internet personality Adin Ross has confirmed he will not be attending UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, a decision his audience connected to the alleged presence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the landmark event.
During a recent broadcast, Ross was direct about where he stood. After seeing the report circulating on X, Ross made it clear he had no interest in being there himself.
“I’m not going, I told you guys I’m not going. Bro, a lot of people are going, I just don’t want to go, I don’t want to go, I’d really just prefer watching my dad in the house,” he said.
The news comes as UFC president Dana White has been openly drumming up enthusiasm for what he views as a historic night tied to both America’s 250th birthday and President Trump’s birthday.
An arena is already being constructed on the White House grounds and will seat approximately 4,300 people, with the majority of those spots reserved for military personnel and service members.
“He wants this to be mostly for the military so it’s going to be 4,300 people there. Most of them in the military,” White told Fox News.
For those who cannot secure one of those seats, the experience extends outward to the Ellipse, the large park directly across from the White House.
“We have screens and we have stages and music. We have activations over there,” White said. Roughly 85,000 free tickets will be made available for the outdoor viewing area, with fans required to register in advance to secure their spot.
“If you are a fan of the UFC and if you’ve never been to Washington D.C., you should come to Washington D.C. the week of the matches,” White added.
Demand for tickets has apparently been relentless. “Literally before I came out here I had a meeting with the President and he keeps telling me that he has never had an event where people have asked him for more tickets, so I’m trying to figure out how to get him more tickets,” White said.
At the time of writing, there has been no official confirmation from the UFC or the White House regarding whether Netanyahu will actually attend the event.
