This card is part of the celebrations commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. The date also falls on President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, making the event even bigger politically and publicly.During his livestream, Aiden Ross addressed fans directly, asking if he would be joining the card after receiving the first invitation. Ross made it clear that he had no plans to leave.“I’m not leaving. I told you guys I’m not going,” Ross said on stream. “Brother, I would prefer not to go. I would rather watch it at home with my father.”Reports about Benjamin Netanyahu possibly attending a UFC event first surfaced earlier this week via Fight TV. The outlet claimed that Netanyahu was interested in watching Cyril Gane face Alex Pereira from cageside.
