He's making a comeback! Dana White is set to go LIVE on Instagram today (Tuesday, January 13, 2026) to share an exciting announcement just ahead of the UFC's return to the spotlight on Paramount+. This highly anticipated event will take place later this month in Las Vegas.
Jesse Holland, a seasoned journalist with extensive experience in covering combat sports, including MMA, professional wrestling, and boxing since early 2004, reports on this development.
The excitement from the interns managing the UFC's social media accounts was palpable, although it appears their enthusiasm led to a few typos in the announcement regarding today's live stream.
While we await White's reveal, it's worth noting that discussions about the upcoming UFC White House lineup are not expected to commence until next month. Therefore, any updates in that regard seem unlikely for now. Additionally, the UFC's current schedule is packed, with all major events already lined up through early March, which includes UFC Vegas 114 on March 14, UFC London on March 21, and UFC Seattle on March 28.
But here's where it gets intriguing—White's announcement could pertain to something entirely different from what fans might anticipate. Let's hope it doesn't involve another Power Slap update or details about a new meal plan initiative for those who enjoy frozen meatballs yet wouldn't be caught shopping for Lean Cuisine at the grocery store.
The UFC is gearing up for UFC 324, which will take place on January 24 in Las Vegas. This event features an interim lightweight title fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett. Furthermore, Amanda Nunes is set to make her return to challenge Kayla Harrison for the women's bantamweight title, promising fans an exhilarating matchup.
As of now, the exact timing of White's announcement remains under wraps, but rest assured, we will provide all the details as soon as they become available. Stay tuned for more updates!
