Donald Trump’s White House UFC fight is being called out for its treatment of the U.S. flag.

The fight will feature the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s tradition of using “Octagon Girls”—models hired to indicate the number of the next round by walking around the cage and holding a display, while donning bikinis or themed costumes.

But their themed attire for Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 match on the White House South Lawn on June 14 has drawn criticism for its use of the American flag.
