President Donald Trump's announcement of a UFC event that takes place in the White House has people talking.
Fans hoped that Jones vs Tom Aspinall could finally happen at the event that Trump stated on Independence Day will take place in 2026.
Conor McGregor has plagued that on that date he could finally be confronted with Michael Chandler after he has shown interest in a UFC refund.
With dreams about which huge fights the card could surpass, a fan made a pitch for the current Bantam weight champion of the promotion.
Unfortunately for them it does not seem that Kayla Harrison is on board for a first UFC title fight.

Kayla Harrison laughs at suggestion that she should fight against Merab Dvalishvili in the White House
Kayla Harrison has already prepared one of the greatest battles of the year while she is preparing to welcome Amanda Nunes back to the Octagon.
If the new champion is able to spoil the return of 'The Lioness', there don't seem to be too many exciting challenges for her at 135 pounds.
After the announcement of Donald Trump, Harrison posted several times on social media, including her resignation from UFC Welterweight Phil Rowe called her for the white house-hosted event.
Under an image that Harrison posted of her persistent title of the Bantam weight next to the flag of the United States and various Eagles, one fan had a suggestion.
“I speak for all UFC fans when I say we want Harrison vs [Merab] Dvalishvili to give UFC Wh [White House]”

The field for seeing the two current Bantamweight champions of the promotion that were closed on the day of Independence Collide was closed by the former two -time Olympic gold medal winner.
In a short answer, she acknowledged the remarkable Run of Merab Dvalishvili in the Octagon when she makes it clear that she does not have the desire to win a second UFC title in the same weight class.
“I'm not ready for that smoke sweetheart”
As the only American champion of the UFC, Kayla Harrison seems an obvious choice for the event
Kayla Harrison who is part of the UFC event in the White House makes sense for various reasons.
If she can beat Amanda Nunes later this year, it will not deny that she is the current face of MMA for women.
After already representing the United States at the Olympic Games, Harrison is also the only American champion of the promotion at the moment after Jon Jones' retirement.
Outside of Cory Sandhagen that challenges Merab Dvalishvili for the Bantamweight belt in the near future, it also does not seem that new American champions will soon come up, which will only contribute to the opportunities of Harrison with the map.
