UFC Event at White House Draws Political Attention

The UFC has positioned Sunday night’s fight card at the White House as a tribute to America’s history. However, it is challenging to ignore the political undertones as the event visibly unfolds.

Work continued Wednesday on the South Lawn of the White House in preparation for the UFC Freedom 250 match. The organization maintains that the event is not politically motivated. Yet, politics and discussions about the president have become part of the backdrop as fighters gather in Washington, D.C.
