The White House has begun construction on a UFC fighting cage on its South Lawn ahead of next month’s “UFC Freedom 250” event, which will mark 250 years of American independence. Workers are building domed structures and staging areas that will be transformed into an octagon-style arena with seating for thousands, as online renderings show.
ㅤ
The card will include two title fights, with Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane and Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje, while UFC president Dana White says attendance will include military guests and a large free viewing area at the nearby Ellipse Park.
