“I’ve been involved in a lot of big events, I have never had an event that has had more interest than the UFC fight we have right at the front door,” Trump told reporters gathered outside the Oval Office on Monday.
“Right there,” the president said, pointing to the South Lawn, “they’re going to start building a 4,500 seat arena.”
“And then in the back at the Ellipse, we’re going to have 100,000, maybe 50 [50,000] to 100,000 people, I guess,” he continued. “They’re building tremendous stages, and we’re going to have massive screens of the fight. It’s a very popular sport.”
UFC, headed by Trump ally Dana White, in March announced its full card of bouts for “UFC Freedom 250,” an event timed to coincide with President Trump’s 80th birthday on June 14.
