Construction of the UFC arena begins at the White House.

Preparations for the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) are underway on the South Lawn of the White House. The smoke show is scheduled to take place on June 14 as part of America’s 250 celebrations.

U.S. President Donald Trump said UFC president Dana White would build a 5,000-seat arena outside the front door of the White House and eight big screens in a nearby park for fans to watch from afar.
