Independent UK - President Donald Trump revealed new details about the Ultimate Fighting Championship cage match — complete with a custom-built outdoor octagon — slated to take place at the White House on his 80th birthday this summer.
“I’ve been involved with a lot of big events,” the president told reporters gathered outside the Oval Office Monday. “I’ve never had an event that’s had more interest than the UFC fight that we have right at the front door.”
“They’re gonna start building about a 4,500-seat arena,” he said, while gesturing toward the South Lawn. A much larger overflow area will be staged on the Ellipse, a 52-acre park just south of the White House grounds, he said.
“We’re gonna have maybe 100,000 — 50,000 to 100,000 people — I guess,” Trump said. “They’re building tremendous stages, and they’re gonna have massive screens of the fight.”
