The White House UFC Event Was Loud, Patriotic, and Everything the Left Despises
By Nick AramaOn Sunday, for the first time ever, the White House hosted an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the White House in celebration of America 250.
Things actually kicked off on Saturday with some pre-event action.

It was a barnburner, celebrating America.
The card more than delivered on its promise, with each of the first six fights not even reaching the end of the second five-minute round as many of the service members who made up the lucky 4,000 ticketed guests who filled the temporary arena chanted “U-S-A! U-S-A!”
An estimated 80,000 more watched the contests on the Ellipse just to the south of the executive mansion, while thousands more sought an elevated space on the National Mall and craned for a view of the giant screens showing the action.
Military and first responders got some of the prime seats on the South Lawn.
