Secretary of State Marco Rubio and UFC CEO Dana White have reached an agreement to use cage fights for diplomacy, the State Department said Monday — as Iran peace talks remain in flux. The MOU was announced as President Trump prepares to host an iconic mixed martial arts match Sunday on the White House lawn. Rubio and White will sign the agreement Thursday afternoon at the State Department ahead of the seven-fight event at the White House. The agreement will “mark a new public-private partnership to enhance sports diplomacy initiatives and collaborate on the global growth of mixed martial arts,” the department said in a press release.
