On Sunday, for the first time ever, the White House hosted an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the White House in celebration of America 250. 

Things actually kicked off on Saturday with some pre-event action.

Then on Sunday, it featured a walkout by President Trump and Dana White, followed by an amazing flyover by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

It was a barnburner, celebrating America. 

The card more than delivered on its promise, with each of the first six fights not even reaching the end of the second five-minute round as many of the service members who made up the lucky 4,000 ticketed guests who filled the temporary arena chanted “U-S-A! U-S-A!”

An estimated 80,000 more watched the contests on the Ellipse just to the south of the executive mansion, while thousands more sought an elevated space on the National Mall and craned for a view of the giant screens showing the action.

Military and first responders got some of the prime seats on the South Lawn. 

Medal of Honor winners and first responders walked out with each of the fighters on the card. Here was Michael Chandler with 101-year-old Medal of Honor recipient Royce Williams, who shot down four Soviet planes in an incident during the Korean War that was classified for years.

All the fights ended with knockouts, technical or straight KO.

Hokit gifted President Trump with his fight chain after he won his fight.

Justin Gaethje upset Ilia Topuria in the main event.

He had quite the celebration off the top rope. 

In one of the funniest reports, all the leftist protesters were able to achieve before the event was to stand by portapotties, inviting passersby to wish the president a “crappy birthday.” Somehow, that fits with their gaslighting.
