UFC CEO Dana White said Monday that the White House fight over the weekend was a "one-of-one" experience that will never be repeated because of multiple issues, including a pricey $60 million tab that the sport had to cover.

Thousands of Ultimate Fighting Championship fans crowded around the octagon-shaped arena on Sunday for the historic fight, which featured an all-male lineup. Attendees included President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth. 

White touted the historic event as an "amazing experience" but indicated there was no chance of a repeat because of the cost, logistic headaches with the construction of the cage and staging events at federal landmarks, according to the Associated Press.

“It was an amazing experience, this was a one-of-one,” White said. “It will never happen again ... I can’t afford it. I’ll never do the [Las Vegas] Sphere again and we’ll never do this again.”

The CEO said he hopes that everyone had a good time at the event and that it was not intended to be political, despite falling on the president's 80th birthday.

“Hopefully tonight created some unity,” White said. “Even for the people that thought this was going to be some big political statement or something, this wasn’t. This was Americans, all Americans celebrating the birthday. For people who tuned in for the first time, because it was at the White House, hopefully they liked the sport. They liked some of the guys’ stories.”

White also touted the fight as a success in "every way you can gauge success," including with merchandise hitting record setting metrics, according to ESPN. However, he did not provide specific numbers.

The winners of the mixed martial arts cage fight met the president and all fighters toured the White House over the weekend.
