The massive UFC ring that President Donald Trump ordered to celebrate his birthday — and the 250th anniversary of the nation — is now towering over the White House. 
Construction began last week ahead of UFC Freedom 250, which will be held at the White House on June 14 to honor the nation’s 250th birthday and Trump’s 80th. 
UFC on Paramount +, which will stream the six bouts, shared a first look at the massive UFC Octagon getting built directly in front of the People’s House. 
The ginormous, outdoor fighting ring is decorated patriotically, with an American flag graphic stretching over its enormous arches. 
The image also showed a raised stage and seating area being built with views of the president’s mansion. 
The ring is being built directly in front of the Executive Mansion, obscuring a typically clear view of the historic residence. 
Large light rigs have also been added on either side of the White House to help showcase the event. 
“An updated look at the South Lawn ahead of UFC Freedom 250,” the streamer wrote on X. 
Ahead of the construction, Trump boasted that the upcoming UFC palooza would be “the greatest show on Earth,” alongside a group of UFC fighters set to participate in the bouts. 
UFC Freedom 250’s main event will be between lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and interim champion Justin Gaethje. 
Topuria thanked Trump, who is friends with UFC president Dana White, for the “opportunity to build the biggest event in sports history" while at the White House earlier this month. 
Gaethje told the president at the Oval Office, “It’s truly an honor. 
It’s awesome. 
It’s your birthday. 
Awesome. 
It’s Flag Day. 
Wonderful to represent this country.”
