The White House is being transformed into what critics are already calling 'the world's most expensive sports bar' after construction began on a full-scale UFC fighting cage ahead of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of American independence.
Workers have started assembling a massive octagon-shaped arena on the South Lawn, complete with wire fencing, staging platforms and thousands of temporary seats. The event, branded UFC Freedom 250, is set to take place on 14 June and has quickly become one of the most surreal spectacles of Donald Trump's second term in office.
