Hoton da AI ya samar

In the latest update on the highly anticipated Freedom Fights 250 UFC event at the White House, President Dana White revealed during a March 7 live stream that one bout has fallen through, just hours before the full card announcement on UFC 326.

UFC President Dana White shared the setback during a live stream with content creator Nina Marie Daniele on March 7, 2026, stating, “We’ve been working on this nonstop. One of the fights literally just fell out when I walked in here. I think Hunter k***ed himself,” referring to UFC executive Hunter Campbell.

The development follows visible frustration at the UFC 326 ceremonial weigh-ins on March 6, where Campbell whispered to matchmakers Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby, drawing a reaction from Maynard. Online fan speculation has pointed to potential matchups involving Jon Jones or Alex Pereira, though details remain unconfirmed.

The six-fight card (possibly expanding to seven, with two title bouts) for the June 14, 2026, event on the White House South Lawn is still set for full reveal during the UFC 326 broadcast on Paramount+ on March 8.
