Why is Ardin Rose refusing to attend UFC Freedom 250 despite Donald Trump planning historic night at the White House?
Aden Rose has decided not to attend the upcoming UFC White House event after hearing rumors that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may attend. The popular streamer shared this latest news during a recent Kick live stream, saying he would rather stay home and watch the game with his father. While reports of Netanyahu’s attendance at the event have not been confirmed, the news has already sparked a strong reaction online as preparations for the historic UFC fight continue outside the White House.The event, also known as UFC Freedom 250, is scheduled to take place on June 16, 2026 at the White House grounds in Washington, DC. The card is part of celebrations commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The date also coincides with President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, making the event even more politically and publicly important.During the live broadcast, Rose asked fans directly if he would be attending the card after receiving the invitation. Ross made it clear he no longer planned to go.“I’m not going. I told you I wasn’t going,” Rose said on the air. “Brother, I just don’t want to go. I’d rather watch it at home with my dad.”Reports of Benjamin Netanyahu potentially competing in the UFC first emerged earlier this week via Fight TV. The outlet claims Netanyahu is interested in watching Cyril Gane take on Alex Pereira cageside. However, neither the White House nor UFC officials have officially confirmed these reports so far.
