That\u2019s it,\u201d he clarified. \u201cI didn\u2019t go and throw my hat in the ring for political office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t there going to endorse a politician or some kind of, you know, foreign affairs issue. Nothing. I literally went to the White House to go see UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Osbourne explained that he\u2019s been interested in\u00a0combat sports his entire life, including doing taekwondo at 6 years old, studying Muay Thai in Thailand in his late teens and early 20s and doing jiu-jitsu in his 30s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have also attended UFC and PRIDE fights going back to the early 2000s. It is something that has been a part of my life since I can remember,\u201d Osbourne said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Jack Osbourne posted a selfie with his wife Aree Gearhart at the UFC fight at the White House. <span class=\"credit\">Jack Osbourne\/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He said when he was invited by <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/06\/18\/lifestyle\/inside-ufc-boss-dana-whites-500-million-life\/\">President and\u00a0CEO of UFC Dana White<\/a>, \u201cof course I would go.

You did not know where he stood with things,\u201d Osbourne said. \u201cYes, he wrote a song called \u2018War Pigs,\u2019 sure. Anti-war song. He wasn\u2019t anti-UFC. He wasn\u2019t anti-going to an event at the White House. He was anti-war.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Ozzy, Sharon and Jack Osbourne sit ringside for Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor in Las Vegas, August 26, 2017. <span class=\"credit\">Anthony J.
