UFC Freedom 250 Transforms the Ellipse Into a White House–Adjacent Fight Festival
Thousands of UFC fans gathered at The Ellipse near the White House for the Freedom 250 Fan Fest ahead of Sunday’s main event, with a carnival-like setup, weigh-ins, and sponsor booths from Monster Energy, Bud Light, Jose Cuervo and Ram Trucks; a large security presence signaled heavy government involvement as fans lined up for meet-and-greets and photo ops, and the main card was slated to air Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET.
