UFC Cage Rises at White House

A temporary UFC octagon is being constructed on the South Lawn of the White House to host a 'Freedom 250' fight night on June 14.

The unprecedented event will commemorate President Donald Trump's 80th birthday and the start of the nation's 250th anniversary festivities.

While UFC CEO Dana White is overseeing the production, prominent figures like Joe Rogan have expressed reservations about hosting title fights in an uncontrolled outdoor environment.

The project has also drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers who argue the administration should seek congressional consent for such significant modifications to the historic grounds.
