Dana White is certainly in the process of organizing a landmark UFC event, but he clarified that its venue wouldn't be Mount Rushmore.

Dana White hyped up UFC fans in mid-August by announcing that the UFC was planning a unique event that he dubbed "impossible." But while many speculated that the landmark event would be held at Mount Rushmore, White recently blew away those rumors.

The UFC CEO also revealed the estimated timeline after which he would clear the haze himself.

Dana White Intends To Announce ‘Impossible’ Event’s Details in Two Weeks

White has never shied away from experimenting with the UFC product to boost its popularity. UFC Freedom 250 stands as a fitting example of how the UFC CEO doesn't mind incorporating new ideas into the organization's book of operations.

After pulling off the bold idea in June, White appeared in an episode of the Pat McAfee Show in mid-August and revealed that UFC head of production, Craig Borsari, was in the process of planning another similarly audacious event.

During one of his subsequent interactions with TMZ Sports' Michael J. Babcock, he called it the "impossible event," saying, "You gotta go back and do some recon. work on the impossible event. Hopefully, I can get this thing done next week and handle some of the stuff that I have to do. Then he can go walk the site, and hopefully, we can announce something soon."

Subsequently, a large chunk of the fanbase started speculating that White and Co. were targeting Mount Rushmore as the venue of their next event. However, the UFC CEO clarified that they were just rumors during a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

He said, "No, it is not going to be Mount Rushmore." White revealed further details about the proceedings, stating Borsari had been investigating the desired site for "four days." He concluded with, "So, hopefully, in the next couple of weeks, I can break it on the McAfee Show."

Before UFC Freedom 250, hardly anyone could have imagined that White would take the octagon to the White House's lawns. And given that the Mount Rushmore speculations were ruled out, fans don't seem to have any idea about White and Co.'s plans this time, too.

Hence, waiting till the UFC CEO's announcement about the event seems to be the only thing that fans can do to know more about the event.
