For many, it's about the food, but at its heart, the holiday brings families and friends together to share traditions and make some happy memories of the year, awaiting Christmas. Yet, for the American UFC community, this year's Thanksgiving is far from being memorable. Dana White and his team have steadily expanded the UFC's global reach. This year alone, the promotion returned to Montreal after a ten-year gap, staged an event in Azerbaijan during the summer, and most recently held a show in Qatar. Despite this international growth, American fighters have struggled to stay at the top, with Sean O'Malley standing out as the only one maintaining an elite position. 2025 is the first Thanksgiving in UFC title history(1995-present), where the United States of America…...

The former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion has been making more noise than any other fighter when it comes to securing a spot on the June 14 card in Washington D.C. Dana White announced Jones" retirement shortly before United States President Donald Trump revealed plans to stage UFC fights on the White House lawn in 2026.

Unlike the Irishman, White publicly rejected Jones" plea, branding him too unreliable for such an occasion.
