It looks from afar more UFO than UFC.
Maybe it’s the kind of contraption that has carried space aliens to the White House to force a meeting with America’s leader.
But come closer and you’ll see the contours of the eight-sided cage, 30 feet (9 meters) in diameter and shaped, with careful precision, like the MMA league’s signature Octagon.
That is, a STOP! sign flipped on its edge, with wire-mesh sides and padded corners fitted with different sponsors’ logos: Morgan & Morgan, Bud Light, Dodge Ram, Corona Extra and Polymarket, which identifies itself as the world’s largest prediction market.
Overhead looms The Claw, a four-sided mass that arcs more than 90 feet (27 meters) into the air and features lights, speakers, thick snakes of wiring and four large screens so fans not seated right next to the Octagon can follow the cage fighting below.
Think more of the four-sided, metal grabby thing that tries to grasp stuffed animals at a video arcade rather than what house cats have — hence the extraterrestrial vibes.
And surrounding all that are risers filled with gray folding chairs forming a temporary arena expected to seat 4,000-plus people for the seven UFC fights being staged on Sunday to celebrate the 80th birthday of President Donald Trump and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence’s signing.

Obama wanted his very expensive Basketball Court for himself.
Trump wants this "For the World".
Will there be special guests that we know of at this point??
It’s My party and I’ll cry if I want To!
.
Only because I can’t Be There!
This is Beautiful Man!
Drop the Mic and Trump grabs It;
“Ladies and GentleMen !”
I Love This !
.
And the reflecting pool...he knows what he wants and gets it down. Obama spent tons of money on the reflecting pool...to no avail...it stayed a scummy pool.
President Trump does good things...and none of it is for him...it's for future generations.
A fitting tribute to Baron Von Raschke.
blasphemy
I’m not a fan of this particular project/event.
Maybe someone can explain to me why it is a good idea, and how it helps us celebrate the 250th?
Trump supporters are low-propensity voters and they'll only vote when he's on the ballot.
Otherwise, the Democrats have the advantage due to turnout. '18, '22 plus other elections held during off-years have shown this...we'll lose when Trump is not running for office, as simple as that.
This is a way that Trump is mobilizing his base for November.

It is for Trump’s birthday, not the 250th.
And we Love it.🇺🇸👍
I realized that after I posted.
Thank you!
Garish spectacle advertised by ambulance chasing lawyers, booze and prediction casino.
Thank you very much.
I hope it works.
We need the turnout.
Bigly.
Well, you might have thought it was Trump’s 250th birthday.
🤡🤣
Agreed
It Is terrible the way PDJT gets hammered
24/7. He’s a Class Act who Loves this Country and a Dynamo in the Oval Office!
Obammy and His Library are Disgusting which is being laughed at by Everyone.
Wish Dumbo would Fly Away !
Blasphemy...
Absolutely Correct——to Leftists!
The Octagon (1980) is a passable Chuck Norris movie.
