Cage-match fighting is set to be held at the White House to celebrate President Donald Trump, a proponent of cage-match politics. The event will be part of a mixed martial arts show celebrating Trump's 80th birthday and the nation's 250th anniversary. The UFC will use a combination of kickboxing, jiujitsu, wrestling, and other martial arts to celebrate the president's birthday on June 14. The league plans to issue 85,000 free tickets for the event, which will be broadcast live on Paramount+. Critics have criticized the card for lacking top talent, including former two-division champion Jon Jones, who requested his release from the UFC after being excluded from the show. The White House did not answer questions about the card's politics or criticism of the aggressive politics.
