"REPORTER: There's been a lot of talk about the UFC event at the White House. There might be enough time, depending on how things go on Saturday. Would you raise your hand to fight there? And do you think the event might need some Mexican talent? MORENO: Brother, I want you to tell me, why would I want to fight there?"
"MORENO: For who? REPORTER: For the company. MORENO: For you? REPORTER: For the company. MORENO: No, I'm not interested. Thank you."
The UFC is preparing to hold an event at the White House South Lawn on June 14, with UFC President Dana White promoting it as a historic, record-breaking occasion. President Donald Trump announced his desire to bring the UFC to the White House last July. During a press conference, a reporter asked Mexican fighter Brandon Moreno in Spanish about potentially fighting at the White House event. Moreno responded negatively, repeatedly questioning why he would want to participate and stating he had no interest. Other UFC fighters, including Sean Strickland, have also expressed disinterest in the event, with Strickland citing concerns related to the Jeffrey Epstein situation.
