The massive UFC ring that President Donald Trump ordered to celebrate his birthday — and the 250th anniversary of the nation — is now towering over the White House. Construction began last week ahead of UFC Freedom 250, which will be held at the White House on June 14 to honor the nation’s 250th birthday and Trump’s 80th. UFC on Paramount +, which will stream the fights, shared a first look at the massive UFC Octagon getting built directly in front of the People’s House. The ginormous, outdoor fighting ring is decorated patriotically, with an American flag graphic stretching over an enormous arch. The image also showed a raised stage and seating area being built with views of the president’s mansion. The ring is being built directly in front of the Executive Mansion, obscuring a typically clear view of the historic residence. Large light rigs have also been added on either side of the White House to help showcase the event.
