Title: Construction Underway for UFC Arena on White House South Lawn

Construction has officially commenced on the South Lawn of the White House in preparation for an upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event. The fight is set to take place on June 14 as part of the America 250 celebrations.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that UFC president Dana White, a long-time political ally, will oversee the creation of a 5,000-seat arena situated just outside the White House’s front entrance. Additionally, eight large screens will be installed in a nearby park, allowing distant fans to view the event.
