White House UFC cage fight will take place on the South Lawn, Dana White says

White House UFC cage fight will take place on the South Lawn, Dana White says (The Independent)

UFC CEO Dana White has said that there will be a cage fight on the South Lawn of the White House as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the U.S.

“That is going to happen,” he told Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Gay on Monday.

President Donald Trump, who has attended a number of UFC fights, said early last month that he would host a bout at the White House to mark 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

"Every one of our national park battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of 'America250' and I even think we're going to have a UFC fight," Trump said on July 3 during a speech in Des Moines, Iowa.

today's White House in a single snapshot than this. Maybe adding a monster truck with a crypto currency livery and a confederate flag painted on the roof.

Cage fights on the White House lawn, what utter trash we've become.

That would be the perfect time to land, if only for the photos.

Just kidding. UFOs don't exist. UFC, now that is for real. Right?
