Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani Reveals Unusual Experience at White House While Discussing UFC Event

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani flipped through a book showcasing concept art of a UFC fight at the White House during a meeting with President Donald Trump, the democratic socialist disclosed this week. When asked in an interview on “The Adam Friedland Show” about the “weirdest” thing he witnessed while visiting the White House, Mamdani shared that when he sat down to wait for the meeting to begin, he noticed “in front of me are all these different coffee table books, and one of them is ‘UFC at the White House.'” He added that he had “no idea” a fight was being planned at the White House but said he “was just flipping through” what he described as “just a visualization” of the upcoming event. The White House will host a UFC fight on the South Lawn next year on June 14, Trump’s 80th birthday. The event includes a fight in an octagon cage, weigh-in for fighters at the Lincoln Memorial, and fireworks and light shows. When asked if he plans on attending the fight, Mamdani said, “No.”
