The UFC Freedom 250 “Claw” on the White House South Lawn – photo by Jordan Conradson/The Gateway PunditA, Obama-appointed federal judge denied a lawsuit against the Trump Administration’s plans to host an Ultimate Fighting Championship match on the White House grounds this weekend.The event, dubbed “UFC Freedom 250,” will continue as planned.In a Friday order, US District Court Judge Amit Mehta ruled that the DC residents who filed suit against the National Park Service failed to demonstrate that stopping the event would be in the interest of the public and that their “unreasonable delay” in filing the 11th-hour lawsuit “undercuts their claims of irreparable harm.”The lawsuit argued that Trump’s plan is “deeply corrupt” and that it gave the Ultimate Fighting Championship “unfettered access to the White House and Lincoln Memorial” for the purposes of enriching UFC CEO Dana White and Donald Trump.It further claimed that Trump’s use of the White House South Lawn to host a sporting event and the erection of the fight venue, which the White House and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) call “The Claw,” are illegal.“In particular, the UFC is erecting a 92-foot-tall, 600-ton steel structure it calls ‘the Claw’ immediately adjacent to the Executive Residence, and is destroying much of the South Lawn in the process,” it claimed.The White House gave reporters access to The Claw on Thursday.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v78y3gg","div":"rumble_v78y3gg"});MORE:Good morning from inside THE CLAW pic.twitter.com/FFibpegVR6— Jordan Conradson (@ConradsonJordan) June 11, 2026The fight is scheduled to take place on Flag Day and President Trump’s birthday on Sunday.The post JUST IN: Obama Judge Sides With Trump Administration, Refuses to Stop White House’s UFC Freedom 250 Fight appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
