White House South Lawn to Stage UFC Freedom 250 for America's 250th Anniversary
Crews are building a temporary 5,000-seat UFC arena on the White House South Lawn for UFC Freedom 250 on June 14, part of America's 250th anniversary celebrations; UFC is paying most costs (over $60 million) with federal and local agencies handling security, and weigh-ins are planned at the Lincoln Memorial, with a custom lighting structure backdrop for the White House.
