“The UFC octagon and ballroom construction site at the White House, from the top of the Washington Monument this morning. Bleh.”
CNN reports: “Troops must meet weight standard to get free tickets to the White House UFC fight”
Wait, what?
“Senior Pentagon leaders are putting together lists of uniformed US service members who will be offered the chance to attend the UFC fight at the White House next month hosted by President Donald Trump, but tickets will only be given to those who meet military body composition standards, according to guidance memos reviewed by CNN and sources familiar with the process.”
And so it goes…
“UFC Freedom 250 commemorates the 250th birthday of the United States with a once-in-a-generation celebration of the American fighting spirit. From the Revolution to the Octagon, this historic event will connect fans through cinematic storytelling and unrivaled competition on the world’s greatest proving ground.”
