Organizers of the UFC Freedom 250 event say the fights are meant to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, but they also coincide with President Donald Trump’s 80th Birthday.
The fight card constructed by UFC’s President and CEO Dana White, a long-time Trump ally, is headlined by a lightweight title bout between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje and an interim heavyweight title bout between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane.
UFC Freedom 250 has been the subject of multiple controversies, much of it relating to the decision to allow the privately-held UFC to host an event on public land. A federal lawsuit filed this month by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia residents called the event “deeply corrupt” and alleged that several federal rules and regulations were violated by the Department of Interior and the National Park Service in order to organize the event.
Here’s how you can watch the historic UFC fight.
Can I attend the event?
About 4,000 attendees were invited to watch the event in person at the White House. Mixed martial arts fans who signed up in advance will have access to the watch event at the 52-acre Ellipse park just south of the White House. Those tickets are free, and White confirmed that about 85,000 tickets were made available. The 4,000 attendees at the fight on the South Lawn will be mostly military, according to White.
