Trump hints UFC arena at White House lawn could stay after Freedom 250

Trump compared the Eiffel Tower-like UFC structure on the White House South Lawn to Paris’s landmark and floated keeping it up after UFC Freedom 250, a June 14 show to mark 250 years of American independence. The event will host 4,300 attendees (mostly military) with 85,000 free Ellipse Park tickets and about $60 million in costs, featuring Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje for the lightweight title unification and Ciryl Gane vs. Alex Pereira for the interim heavyweight title—the first pro live sporting event on White House grounds.
