In roughly six weeks, arguably the most anticipated UFC event of all time will take place when some of the best fighters in the world will be in the Octagon at the South Lawn of the White House.

UFC Freedom 250, also known as UFC White House, will take place on June 14, President Donald Trump's 80th birthday, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States.

In-ring announcer Bruce Buffer is limiting his excitement for the time being, saying he has "a lot of other exciting things to do before then," but "I'll get super excited that week."

But while reserving his excitement until it gets closer, he already knows the importance of the event.

"I think because of how much publicity it's going to receive and everything else, it's going to be one of the most highly viewed, not the most highly viewed, UFC event in history," Buffer told Fox News Digital.

A long-awaited Conor McGregor return, which fans have wanted to be against Michael Chandler, is not happening, and while everyone clamored for a heavyweight title bout between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, that, too, is not happening.
