Court challenge targets UFC fight planned on White House lawn

A federal lawsuit filed by the Public Integrity Project seeks to block a UFC event on the White House South Lawn, arguing the private, for-profit fight and its 92-foot ring were erected without proper approvals and would use public spaces for a private event; the suit names the National Park Service and Interior Department and claims the UFC and its partners could profit from the arrangement. The White House promoted the event, while UFC officials have not commented.
