UFC CEO Dana White told reporters at a press conference early Monday morning that, while his Freedom 250 fights at the White House were successful, his company would not repeat them.

“I can’t afford it,” White responded when posed a hypothetical scenario where President Donald Trump asks him to return to the South Lawn next year. “There’s no f***ing way we can do this again.”
