‘YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE THIS’: Dana White reveals ‘incredible’ White House UFC story

And with all this World Cup momentum, and America's 250th birthday this weekend, it's all about American pride right now.

And that's something UFC President Dana White knows a thing or two about, having just put on a major event at the White House.

And now, we're getting a look at what went into all of it.

It's part of a new Fox Nation documentary series out today called UFC Fight House: The Making of the Biggest Fight in History.

Incredible behind-the-scenes footage of the planning, the troubleshooting, and yes, the backstory on that iconic walkout with President Trump.

We have 1 minute, and when the door opens, you walk.

Starting the broadcast in 45 [music] seconds.

4 3 2 Stand by spot 1.

And joining me now is the man who made it all happen is UFC President and CEO Dana White.

Dana, thanks for joining us.

I know you're on vacation, already beginning your 4th of July weekend, probably at a lake house someplace beautiful.

So, thanks for taking some time out to be with us here today.

When was it, Dana,

>> having me.

>> before you bet, man, before, during, after,

when was it you realized you had accomplished your vision?

>> Uh, you know, I thought I think the the Wayans, uh, there were 60,000 people at the Wayans and, uh, everything was running smoothly.

It was just we knew we were going to get killed by the weather the next night and, uh, but we were ready for that, too.

>> Yeah, I I was there, Dana. There was there was no problem. There was beautiful weather.

Um, and by the way, speaking of being there, I can speak firsthand of how beautiful the event was from start to finish.

Left, right, it did not matter. If you were there, you saw the patriotism and the beauty of that moment of that night.

Set aside the quality of the fight, the especially the last fight, which was incredible.

Um, I've heard you say that ticketing was the worst part of this.

It's always the worst part.

What's the best part?

>> Yeah, and it's not ticketing, it's seating.

It's like if you've ever, uh, done a wedding and you got to seat some, you know, everybody at the wedding, that's what it's like for me every Saturday.

>> [clears throat]

>> And the White House was like, you know, times at times 10,000, but everything went smooth that night.

Everything went as perfect as it could possibly go.

And I know, listen, this thing that that you're watching on Fox is a documentary.

If you wrote a script, you wouldn't believe all the things that happen in this thing.

Literally, the storm is coming to hit the White House and it breaks apart and goes around the White House and the ellipse and continues on.

>> It's Right.

>> incredible, unbelievable, and it was an amazing night.

>> Well, this thing on Fox Nation, which gives a behind-the-scenes on the build-up, as you mentioned, shows a lot of what went into it.

Let's take a look of what went into it. Let's take a look together at uh President Trump, I believe, with you taking a look at what would end up being the site of the fight.

>> You could have an arena of 8,000.

>> Yeah.

>> Right here. >> Yeah.

>> And then you could do something there nice.

>> Yeah.

>> whether it's stand-up or seats around the fountain.

>> What do you think your maximum is?

>> Ri- right now, the current infrastructure [music] that we have that goes to the perimeter right up to the trees is only about 2,500.

>> It's terrible.

>> My concept was right smack at the front door to the White House.

Build it as big as you can. You know, we're a little confined because of trees and these beautiful plantings and everything else. So, it's not easy.

>> They're going to get the numbers.

They're going to have schematics.

They're going to overlay on the field.

So, you'll be able to see >> amazing thing. You can build it as big

as you want. There's no problem.

>> Build it as big as you want, Dana. And

obviously, you got way bigger than 2,500

people people there. I mean, what a

logistical I don't even know if I should call it a hurdle, Dana, because you had the President of the United States greasing the wheels on this thing.

But what what a an event to pull off.

>> Well, he was the one that kept pushing us harder and harder to make to be able to get more seats and and to get more people in there.

He was the one pushing hard on that. And every time he would push, we would try to figure it out. Um

but I mean, we built a basically a stadium on the South Lawn of the White House.

And then, I think what we did at the Ellipse is even more impressive.

I mean, you know, everything that went into that and the amount of people that were over there. Um

and uh battling the weather, the elements, you know, all the unknown.

The the event could not have gone
