Sean O'Malley wants in on UFC White House event

UFC matchmakers will have a long list of fighters to choose from when they begin putting together the fight card for the next year's UFC event at the White House. 

Several high-profile fighters on the fight promotion's roster have requested to be part of the fight card, and former champions have expressed the willingness to come out of retirement to compete at the event. 

UFC CEO Dana White would like Conor McGregor to headline. Former two-division champion Jon Jones has all but begged to be featured. On Monday, former bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley threw his name in the hat.

"I would absolutely love to be on that card," O'Malley said on his YouTube channel. "Regardless, I want to fight within the next four or five moths, whatever it is. And then I'll also be ready for that (White House event) because they said it could be June. It could be International Fight Week, said it could be July."

 "If I can get one in early next year, end of this year, one of the two, count me in," O'Malley continued. "I want to be on that card. I mean, being on the Sphere card, being on the White House card, these are legendary moments. They're once in a lifetime f**king moments."

Earlier this year President Donal Trump announced the plans for the White House to host a UFC event on its grounds.  The event is planned for next summer in commemoration the America 250 celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence.

White and company are building a lighting arch to illuminate the octagon with the White House on one side and the Washington Monument on the opposite side. The UFC CEO has promised to put together the 'greatest line-up ever" for the historic event.
