Trump mixes sports and patriotism with UFC Freedom 250 ‘spectacle’
It was a night of pageantry and mixed martial arts brutality at the White House as President Donald Trump brought fight night to the South Lawn for America’s 250th birthday and his 80th. A relaxed Trump, hours after announcing a peace deal with Iran is expected to be signed on Friday, received a hero’s welcome at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday. The 4,300-person crowd featured many uniformed and non-uniformed military personnel, Cabinet officials, titans of business and technology, and media luminaries, who were presumably grateful a predicted storm did not break over what the UFC called “The Claw.”Advertisement This is a fever dream.
