A federal judge rules that the White House may stage a UFC show this weekend on the South Lawn. The event is set to use a ring already built on the property, and it is planned as part of celebrations for the United States’ 250th anniversary. The ruling comes despite objections that would have prevented the use of the White House grounds for the mixed martial arts event. According to PBS NewsHour, the UFC show is also associated with President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, occurring during the weekend festivities. The judge’s decision permits the event to proceed as scheduled under the approved arrangement for the South Lawn site, rather than requiring it to be moved or canceled. The ruling is limited to allowing the White House to host the event on the South Lawn with the existing setup described in reporting.
