White House Builds UFC Fight Cage
The White House is building a big fighting cage on its South Lawn. The cage is for a UFC (a fight sports group) event. The fight is called UFC Freedom 250. It is on 14 June 2026. That is also President Donald Trump's 80th birthday.
The event marks 250 years since the United States became free in 1776. The UFC will spend about $60million on the show. About 4,300 to 5,000 people will watch in person. Most will be soldiers. Another 85,000 fans get free tickets to watch on big screens nearby.
Some people online say the fights are not exciting enough. There are only two big title fights. Brazil's Alex Pereira will fight France's Ciryl Gane. Ilia Topuria will fight Justin Gaethje. Trump has also rebuilt other parts of the White House. The cage will come down after the fight.
