This news also comes as a judge has rejected a long-shot lawsuit by two Virginia residents to prevent the White House UFC fight from taking places.
Politico explained:
A federal judge on Friday rejected a last-minute lawsuit seeking to block the UFC Freedom 250 events on the White House South Lawn, which are scheduled for this Sunday.
ADVERTISEMENTU.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta rejected a bid by two Virginia residents to halt the events. They argued it violates federal parkland regulations, that the towering arch constructed over the event space was built without congressional approval or an environmental review and that the events would cause them personal harm.
Mehta — an Obama appointee — wrote that the claimants failed to establish legal standing to challenge the fight, and that any harm would be temporary and far outweighed by the time and money already invested in the events.
“The court rightly rejected an untimely and frivolous effort to halt the historic UFC event hosted to honor the 250th anniversary of our Nation,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement. “The White House is thankful for this correct decision and looks forward to hosting this once-in-a-lifetime celebration on the South Lawn.”
