Time to rage in the cage at the White House. UFC the main event at Trump's 80th birthday bash

The White House hosted UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn to mark Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and the United States’ 250th anniversary, turning a traditional ceremonial site into a temporary cage arena. The production described a structure called the Claw, which rises more than 90 feet above the ground and anchors a four-sided cage for the seven-bout card. Organizers projected about 4,000 attendees on site and up to 120,000 television viewers outdoors via lottery, with Paramount+ carrying the event. Trump, a lifelong MMA fan, has long used UFC as a platform for celebration, tying this spectacle to a high-profile moment in his presidency.
