TIME features Dana White ahead of the UFC White House event on June 14. The coverage links White’s role in growing MMA from a fringe sport into a global enterprise and describes how the White House card was assembled. White said he tried to schedule a women’s strawweight title fight between Mackenzie Dern and Weili Zhang to expand international appeal, but the matchup could not be completed. White also addressed Jon Jones’ absence, saying he would not build a card around someone he considers unreliable. The event is headlined by Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje, with Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title, and it streams on Paramount+ at 8 p.m. ET.
