Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosts Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President and CEO Dana White at the State Department for a historic memorandum of understanding signing ceremony at 2 p.m. ET on June 11.

This public-private partnership leverages mixed martial arts and combat sports to enhance global sports diplomacy initiatives. The agreement outlines strategies to collaborate on the global growth of mixed martial arts while building cultural bridges and people-to-people ties across international lines. The event takes place just days ahead of the highly anticipated UFC fight cards scheduled to take place on the White House South Lawn.
