Trump says he’ll hold UFC fight on White House grounds for nation’s 250th birthday

President Donald Trump on Thursday revealed the White House will host a special event in honor of the nation’s 250th birthday next July — an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight.

“We’re going to have a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there,” he announced at an event in Des Moines, Iowa. “We’re going to do that as part of 250.”

Trump said UFC CEO Dana White will be responsible for setting up the fight at the White House, adding he expects the event will attract 20,000 to 25,000 spectators.

“We’re going to have some incredible events, some professional events, some amateur events,” the president continued. “But the UFC fight is going to be a big deal.”
