Trump Proposes Permanent UFC Setup at White House Following Event
President Donald Trump has proposed that the UFC setup at the White House, constructed for the UFC Freedom 250 event, could remain permanently. The event, scheduled for June 14, 2026, will feature a large steel structure nicknamed 'The Claw' on the South Lawn. Trump likened the setup to the Eiffel Tower, which was initially temporary but became a permanent fixture. The UFC is covering the construction costs, with plans to restore the lawn post-event. The event will feature two title fights and is expected to draw a limited audience of military personnel and VIPs.
