Inside Trump's UFC fight on the White House South Lawn

Inside Trump's UFC fight on the White House South Lawn

The Ultimate Fighting Championship match is set to kick off Sunday evening on the grounds of the White House with the mixed martial arts fight series taking place on the South Lawn under a full-scale UFC Octagon.

The event, called "UFC Freedom 250," is billed as a celebration of America's 250th anniversary -- and it coincides with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday.

The fight fest, spearheaded by the president along with UFC CEO and longtime Trump ally Dana White, has sparked an immense amount of controversy, curiosity, money and even a legal challenge. But the show will go on, according to the White House -- even if severe weather forecasts disrupt the event.

The South Lawn now holds a custom-built UFC Octagon and features giant video screens, patriotic staging and a massive overhead structure, named "The Claw."
How many people are expected to attend

Admission to the South Lawn event is invitation-only for over 4,000 guests. But a much larger crowd is expected to watch on The Ellipse, near the Lincoln Memorial and surrounding areas outside of the White House grounds.

At an event in the Oval Office in May, Trump touted the "big fight" as an unprecedented event. "It's never gonna happen again. Never happened before," he said. "And it's all of the best fighters."

Roughly 125,000 guests are expected at and around the White House complex for the fights and an additional 75,000 people requested tickets, according to court documents submitted by the Trump administration as part of a now-rejected lawsuit seeking to block the event. The scheduled events will cost more than $60 million, according to the documents.

The court documents show that planning for the event has been a monumental effort from more than seven federal agencies, with hundreds of staff working onsite in the 11 months since Trump announced the fight.

UFC Freedom 250 has been designated a Special Event Assessment Review 1 event, with security similar to an event like the Super Bowl or the Kentucky Derby. Tickets are required for the watch party on the Ellipse and fans will have to pass through TSA-like screening, officials said.

The United States Secret Service is partnering with the U.S. Park Police for security, according to Tara McLeese, special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Washington Field Office.

Officials have said there are no known credible threats to the event.............

I used to watch boxing (Ali, Fraizer, etc.) when boxing was not kicking and beating the snot out of people till the floor mats are filled with blood.  It reminds me of the Romans watching gladiator fights.

I just don't think that this is an appropriate venue for the White House.  Mr. Bele has it on, so I'll probably watch off and on...maybe...

Again, you may not like the UFC thing at the White House, but the moment you hung a giant pride flag from the columns and had half-naked “trans” activists exposing themselves on the lawn, you lost all right to complain about desecration.

Despite all the dire predictions from the doomer crowd, last night’s UFC event at the White House was pure magic. The weather was fantastic—cool, breezy, and rain-free—and the much-hyped “mosquito apocalypse” turned out to be more fake news.
The fights were solid, but the walkouts stole the show. They showcased the historic East Wing, which often lives in the shadow of the West Wing, and the illuminated backdrop of the White House South Grounds was simply surreal. It was a spectacular setting and a memorable night.

It seems like reading Trump's lips he says "that's the greatest fight I've ever seen."

You mean she's not a man?   :cool:

Hell with the outrage,.  The vile vitriolic anger being spewed against Trump is 10X worse.  You don't see violence being constantly being threatened towards the Wookie either.  Until the double standard is resolved, pound sand you lib pukes.

I watched a couple of bouts as Mr. Liberty had it on - not my cup of tea.  Too violent and bloody.  I didn't see this .... very inappropriate and disgraceful (whether true or not is irrelevant). Taking a potshot at the ex-President's 'wife'  really put a damper on the entire night.

I don't think that was President Trump's intent.  His intent was celebrating his birthday with a sport (?) he frequents and adding some patriotism.
