UFC Freedom 250
Donald Trump & Dana White Make Grand Entrance
… Octagon-Side At W.H.!!!
Published
President Donald Trump and Dana White might’ve just had the best walkout of the night, before a single punch was thrown, arriving on the South Lawn in style!
After a short rain delay — thunderstorms were in the area — POTUS and his longtime friend walked out of the White House’s West Wing, to a balcony overlooking the Octagon … as a 4,000-strong crowd, many military members, cheered from the stands.
Trump saluted while White held his hand over his heart as the National Anthem was played … culminating with several U.S. military jets doing a flyover.
After the anthem, the president and Dana walked a red, white, and blue carpet to their seats just feet from the Octagon.
When Joe Rogan got on the mic for the first time … he summed up the atmosphere like this.
“It’s such a scene. It’s so surreal. It’s so amazing. The energy is in the air. We’re outside. We thought it might be called off for rain, but we’re good. The whole thing is nuts!”
Of course, Freedom 250 is a historic event … it’s the first time a sporting event has ever been held at the White House.
The card features seven fights and is anchored by a highly anticipated title fight between Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria.
