For most of America’s 250-year history, the White House South Lawn has hosted state dinners, diplomatic ceremonies, and Easter egg rolls. On Sunday night, it hosted cage fights.
President Donald Trump brought the UFC to the White House for a historic event. The fights included a lightweight title bout where Justin Gaethje stunned previously unbeaten Ilia Topuria.
But the night was marred by a political smear. After a TKO victory, fighter Josh Hokit targeted former First Lady Michelle Obama with an ugly attack from the ring. The comment drew immediate backlash and overshadowed the sporting spectacle.
