US President Donald Trump is set to bring a UFC mixed martial arts event to the White House grounds as part of celebrations marking both his 80th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Construction of an octagon-shaped cage on the White House lawn has already begun ahead of the event, which Trump says will feature top UFC fighters.
The event reflects Trump’s long-standing ties to combat sports. He became the first sitting US president to attend a UFC event in 2019.
