How the White House looked before becoming a UFC spectacle. 😧
Before the Octagon, the construction crews, and the fight-night renovations, the White House South Lawn was one of the most recognizable political backdrops in the world: quiet grass, ceremonial events, press moments, and presidential arrivals.
Now, it’s being transformed for UFC Freedom 250, a massive fight event planned for June 14 on the South Lawn, with a custom arena, thousands of attendees, and overflow viewing areas near the White House. Reports say construction is already underway, with the event expected to turn one of America’s most historic spaces into a full UFC-style spectacle. -AV
