Trump first trailed the event in July during a speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Details are currently scarce, but a weigh-in for the participants is expected to be held in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and White, the UFC’s CEO and a long-time friend of Trump’s, has said that the screens mentioned will be erected in a nearby park to relay the contest to an 85,000-strong crowd.
He also told Sports Business Journal in October that his company would pay $700,000 to restore the South Lawn after the event.
There is no word yet as to who will be taking part, but numerous fighters have thrown their names into the hat, including former champions Conor McGregor and Jon Jones.
