UFC is producing one of the biggest events in its history on Sunday, as the White House is hosting seven fights on its lawn for a unique event.
UFC Freedom 250 is a special event featuring both Dana White and President Trump to help celebrate two round-number celebrations happening this Summer. Therefore, Trump is of course expected to be in attendance for the event as the White House hosts a sporting event for the first time ever.
The card will feature a lightweight fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje, while Alex Pereira is also set to take on Ciryl Gane in a heavyweight interim bout. This will all take place outside in an arena that was built specifically for this event.
However, Trump will still be the biggest name in attendance. Therefore, here’s a look at where Trump is located during this fight.
