President Donald Trump is hosting a series of mixed martial arts fights at the White House on Sunday, an unprecedented event meant to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary and the president’s own 80th birthday. The South Lawn has been transformed into a massive 4,300-seat arena, with an eight-sided cage beneath a 92-foot canopy known as “the Claw,” which towers above the executive mansion. The event is being run by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, whose CEO is close Trump friend Dana White.
