Summary
Matty Johns said he is in the US to cover UFC Freedom 250 on June 15 and is trying to secure a sit-down interview with President Donald Trump.
Dana White personally invited Johns after a January interview in Las Vegas, and Johns said the UFC chief is now working to arrange access to Trump.
Johns will host two Washington-based shows with Alexander Volkanovski and is also discussing interviews with Ilia Topuria and White around the seven-fight card on the White House South Lawn.
The event is billed as a $60 million UFC blockbuster tied to America’s 250th anniversary and coincides with Trump’s 80th birthday, for which Johns said he plans to bring a Cessnock Goannas-themed gift.
