President Donald Trump is set to host a series of high-profile sporting events, starting with UFC fights on the White House lawn, coinciding with Flag Day and his 80th birthday.
A federal judge has allowed the UFC event, 'UFC Freedom 250,' to proceed on the White House South Lawn, celebrating the nation's 250th anniversary and President Trump's 80th birthday.
The UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House has sparked controversy over the use of American flag-themed outfits by the Octagon Girls, with critics arguing they violate the U.S. Flag Code.
