A federal judge has refused to stop the White House from staging a UFC show this weekend in an elaborate ring already built on the South Lawn to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary — on President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.

The UFC Freedom 250 event is set to take place on Sunday, which is both Flag Day and President Donald Trump's 80th birthday.

While an independent company holding a sporting event on White House grounds is a first, sports have been part of life there for more than a century.
