With a shining, America 250-branded championship belt on his desk, President Donald Trump shared a few details Wednesday about an upcoming UFC event at the White House, including a rendering of what a cage match will look like on the South Lawn.
A handful of fighters competing in the mixed martial arts show, dubbed “UFC Freedom 250,” joined the president in the Oval Office. The June 14 event is part of celebrations to mark the United States’ 250th anniversary of independence.
“We’re having a big fight,” Trump told reporters Wednesday. “It’s never going to happen again, never happened before.”
The planned show includes 85,000 free tickets and eight large screens to allow ticket-holders to watch from a nearby park. Trump said around 4,000 seats will be right in front of the White House.
