UFC Fight at White House Under Fire
from Memphis News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A lawsuit threatens to shut down a UFC fight planned for the White House on Trump’s birthday, accusing organizers of turning a historic venue into a corporate cash grab. Plaintiffs argue the event—dubbed UFC Freedom 250—violates federal rules meant for government-sponsored independence celebrations, instead serving UFC’s brand and Trump’s milestone with VIP tickets priced at a million dollars. They cite damage to the White House grounds, intrusive branding, and a paywall for broadcast, claiming harm to public space and values. The Trump administration dismisses the suit as baseless, comparing it to other South Lawn events—but the plaintiffs say this one’s different, and they’re suing for aesthetic, physical, and procedural damages.
