UFC arena construction begins at White House

Preparations are under way at the White House South Lawn for an upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event. The cage fight is scheduled to take place 14 June as part of the America 250 celebrations.

US President Donald Trump said UFC president Dana White, a longtime ally, will build “a 5,000-seat arena right outside the front door of the White House”, along with eight large screens in a nearby park for fans to watch from a distance.
