The massive arena built for tomorrow’s UFC event on June 14 at the White House has been unveiled. UFC Freedom 250 will be the first major professional sporting event ever held on White House grounds and coincides with President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and Flag Day. ㅤ The event is expected to host thousands of fans and is scheduled to be headlined by a lightweight title bout between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. In the days leading up to the event, a group of local residents and advocacy organizations filed a lawsuit seeking to stop it, arguing that hosting a large-scale UFC card on White House grounds would create security, logistical, and public resource concerns. A federal judge ultimately denied the request, allowing the event to move forward as planned. ㅤ (📸: Getty)
