Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizes President Donald Trump’s plan to celebrate his 80th birthday by hosting UFC fights on the White House lawn. Greene says she believes the location is inappropriate for a mixed martial arts event, though she adds that she enjoys watching UFC. She also expresses that she hopes the event will be “great” and wishes the president well. The reports describe Trump’s Sunday plan as featuring multiple UFC bouts held on the White House grounds, and Greene’s comments are presented as skepticism focused on the setting rather than on the sport itself. The Guardian reports she speaks to NewsNation about the event’s venue, while The Hill highlights her view that UFC fights do not belong on the White House lawn. Overall, both outlets attribute the criticism to Greene’s concern about the appropriateness of hosting the fights at the White House, while acknowledging that she supports the idea of the fights themselves and remains supportive of Trump’s well-being for the occasion.
