Ultimate Fighting Championship is less than three weeks away from its landmark UFC White House event, scheduled for June 14 on the South Lawn in Washington, DC. The enormous rig, which has already been pieced together off site, will soon be added to the existing construction just outside the Oval Office.

The one-time event is expected to result in nearly a million dollars worth of damage.
UFC White House will be headlined by the lightweight title fight pitting Ilia Topuria against Justin Gaethje. Prior to that, Alex Pereira moves up to heavyweight to battle Ciryl Gane for the interim strap. Elsewhere on the card, Sean O’Malley and his “ugly” Fight Kit take on Aiemann Zahabi in bantamweight action.
“There’s a lot of people who hit me up for tickets — we did invites,” UFC CEO Dana White told TMZ Sports. “The president [Donald Trump] has 1,000. I have 200. [TKO CEO] Ari Emanuel has 200. And the rest are all going to the military. Every branch of the military will be represented at the show.”
