Get ready, America, for a big fight with the best fighters for the first-ever UFC matches to take place at the White House!<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump promoted the upcoming UFC Freedom Fight event scheduled for June 14 at the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know, June 14th. We\u2019re having a big fight,\u201d Trump said while flanked by several fighters. \u201cIt\u2019s never gonna happen again. Never happened before. And it\u2019s all of the best fighters, best four fighters standing right behind me, and all champions. And it is gonna happen right in front of the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then showed renderings of how the lawn, where the fights will take place, and the crowds will be arranged on June 14th, which is Flag Day and<\/em> Trump\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country is invited to this; it\u2019s free,\u201d Trump said of the Ellipse tickets. \u201cAnd you know, in the park right across the street, they\u2019re going to have, I guess, anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 people free. They\u2019re gonna set up eight big screens, and they\u2019re gonna have the fight. And then out here, we\u2019re gonna have 4,000 seats right in front of the front door of the White House. The hardest ticket I\u2019ve ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president also had a lighthearted moment with UFC fighter Ilia Topuria. After Topuria thanked Trump and God for the opportunity to fight at the White House, the fighter told the president he was surprised to learn that the president was \u201cso kind.\u201d<\/p>\n

To which Trump replied, \u201cWell, I have a false image.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plenty of folks agreed and shared in the excitement of the upcoming event:<\/p>\n

To all the haters who think this is embarrassing or \u201cUnAmerican\u201d. This is the most American thing ever, we are not Europe, we were founded on a rebellion- Embrace It. TDR would have had a Monster Truck Rally on the White House lawn.<\/p>\n
