Dubbed UFC Freedom 250, the fights are part of a lineup of events scheduled for this summer and promoted by the Trump Administration to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The UFC event, though, is facing a legal challenge: the Public Integrity Project has filed a lawsuit against it, arguing that it would be an improper use of public property. Trump Administration officials have said the lawsuit is baseless. The federal government filed a court document on Tuesday in the case, in which it outlined some of the preparations for the fights, calling the event “a collaboration between the White House, executive agencies,” and the UFC.

"UFC is funding and paying for this entire event," a White House official previously told TIME. "There are no taxpayer dollars being used outside of what would be applied towards employees normal duties and responsibilities."
The event has sparked widespread controversy. Only 16% of Americans support the fights being held on the White House grounds, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday. In comparison, 46% of Americans said they thought that holding the fights was inappropriate.
Other America250 events promoted by the Trump Administration have also generated backlash. In May, several performers pulled out of a concert series planned to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary, accusing the event of being politically charged. The President publicly lambasted those artists on Truth Social, and later announced “A Rally to end all Rallies” that will be held in the nation’s capital this month.
