The fight is set to be part of a series of events commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

The White House is set to a host an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event next year as part of 4 July celebrations in the US to mark the 250th anniversary of the country’s founding.

The octagon cage fight event was announced by UFC boss Dana White, whose friendship with the president dates back to the early 2000s when Trump hosted some of the first ever UFC events at his business properties.

“It is definitely going to happen,” White told CBS Mornings.

White said he planned to meet with the president and his daughter Ivanka at the end of the month to finalise the plans. A White House official confirmed the event to the BBC.

      I want to apologize to people who kept sharing this sentiment over a decade ago and I kept telling them that idiocracy’s explanation of dumbing down evolution was borderline fiction lol.

      Yet nobody in the US is lifting a finger more than online outrage and one “no kings” protest

      What do you want the rest of the world to do? A regime change invasion?

      My comment is not directed personally at you, but america as a whole

      I see lots of online outrage, but nobody storming the capitol or boston tea party part 2… For a country that prides itself on a history of direct action against tyranny, the response so far is underwhelming

        The revolutionary conundrum:

        Act alone, and become another useless Luigi sitting in prison.

        Act with a few hundred, and be listed as terrorists and thrown in prison.

        You need tens of thousands for a movement to get out the door.

        And everybody is waiting for the third option, but nobody has a plan.

    I look forward to watching President Dwayne Alozondo Camacho unite both sides of the house with a combination of wrestling and porn.
