One of the individuals charged with plotting a terrorist attack against the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House earlier this week, and the alleged ringleader of the operation, is an illegal alien, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Abraham Alvarez, a Mexican national, entered the United States as a child and later received deportation relief through former President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after overstaying his visa. Alvarez was arrested on Sunday by the FBI in Omaha, Nebraska. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already lodged a detainer against him.

WASHINGTON -- Dana White stood at the dais with the winning fighters flanking him at 3 a.m. Monday, hours after the UFC president and CEO completed one of the more audacious events of his career, a fight card on the South Lawn of the White House. He made one thing clear. He's never doing this again. "I can't afford it," White said. "I'll never do the Sphere again, and we'll never do this again." White kept to what he insisted for months, that the White House card would be a "one-of-one" event and not the beginning of a trend, similar...

What began with a concerned mother calling police on her son ended in the thwarting of a terror plot involving drones and snipers aimed at members of U.S. Congress attending Sunday's UFC event at the White House, the government alleges in a criminal complaint filed against one of the plot's admitted leaders, an Ohio teen. Tycen Proper, 19, of Danville, Ohio, told federal investigators on June 11 he intended to "jump-start" a revolution in the U.S. with an attack on June 14 that would begin with drone bombings over the north side of the arena. Co-conspirators, the charging documents allege,...

On Monday, Atlantic Magazine published a story that could have served as a script outline for an SCTV skit. In fact, it even sounded like a parody to the author of the piece, Gal Beckerman, since he admitted the absurdity his own premise, "The Theory That Explains Trump’s UFC Fight.""I am aware that bringing a French structuralist to a cage fight borders on self-parody."And Beckerman certainly does sound like he is writing parody by trying to explain the perceived meaning behind the UFC 250 fights at the White House on Sunday night by citing a philosopher.

The plot to attack the White House’s UFC Freedom 250 event Sunday involved at least 12 suspects across the US who adhered to an “accelerationist” ideology and hoped to bring down American capitalism, according to federal law enforcement sources. The FBI foiled their plans by infiltrating a Signal chat group planning the explosive attack — with a parent of one kid in the messaging platform reporting it to the police, sources told The Post. The suspects are in at least four states — California, Ohio, Missouri and Nebraska. They were plotting to gather in Fredericksburg, Virginia, to launch an explosive...

Controversial comment widely debated online. During his post-fight victory interview, UFC fighter Josh Hokit told the audience at Sunday night’s UFC Freedom 250 at the White House that “Michelle Obama is a man,” causing triggered leftists to lose their minds.Democrat political commentator Harry Sisson shared footage of the remarks, writing, “One of Trump’s UFC fighters just screamed ‘Michelle Obama is a man’ at the White House. Just incredibly gross. Fuck Trump and this corrupt event. And, the fact that it’s taking place at the White House, the people’s house, is even worse. It’s a desecration of the building.” Sisson also...

Libtards were so desperate to stop President Trump from hosting UFC America 250, they tried to MANIPULATE the weather forecast. The leftist anti-Trump Weather Channel reported: - 30mph winds - Torrential rain - Lightning storms - Swarms of mosquitos I was actually at the White House. I can promise you none of that happened. Now they just look like idiots. Better luck next time, libs.

UFC fighter Josh Hokit won his match on Sunday night outside of the White House against Derrick Lewis. After his match he told the crowd, “Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right America?”

History is made as the UFC brings its Octagon to the South Lawn of the White House for a landmark night of championship mixed martial arts, celebrating 250 years of American independence.

Polls indicate that President Donald Trump is doing a lot that most Americans don't support: The war with Iran; the arbitrary tariffs; the retribution campaign against his perceived enemies; the 250-foot Triumphal Arch; the $1.776 billion fund intended to reward Trump loyalists. (Even Republicans don't like that one!)

A federal lawsuit seeks to halt the upcoming UFC fight card on the White House South Lawn in a mixed martial arts show timed for President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and part of the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary. The filing Saturday by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia residents contends the Trump administration’s authorization of the June 14 event was unlawful. The lawsuit says such approval violated National Park Service regulations prohibiting sporting events on federal parklands, Congress did not consent to the towering arch overlooking the event space and no environmental review was conducted...

She's traveled to UFC fights all over the world, but there hasn't ever been a night quite like Sunday as octagon girl Red Dela Cruz prepares to star at the White House. The Filipina revealed the late A-lister she would love to see cage-side, and exactly what she would tell Donald Trump, when the Daily Mail snatched a moment with her as she jetted from Las Vegas to Washington DC on Thursday. Dela Cruz, 33, will strut the Octagon at UFC Freedom 250, the historic fight night on the South Lawn, which falls on Trump's 80th birthday and marks America's...

A commercial airline pilot that spoke to MeidasTouch this evening has filed aviation safety reports after powerful lighting used during the construction and testing of the UFC octagon on the White House grounds allegedly shone directly into their cockpit during a nighttime approach into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), creating what the pilot described as one of the most severe visibility disruptions they have experienced in their career. ———- According to the pilot, the lights illuminated the cockpit during the final stages of landing, a critical phase of flight when pilots rely heavily on visual references. The pilot described...

There has been a ton of Trump-deranged nonsense on the legal front—this one might take the cake, though it never got off the ground for many reasons, not least because it’s soaked in lunacy. President Donald Trump is holding a UFC fight on the White House grounds for America 250, and this lefty boomer couldn’t stand it, citing aesthetic issues or whatever. The judge dismissed it, noting that a) it was late, and b) there’s no evidence showing how this event would harm the plaintiffs (via NYT):[snip]A federal judge on Friday declined to block the White House from holding cage...

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...

President Donald Trump is floating the possibility of keeping the UFC arena on the White House South Lawn -- built for a series of fights on his birthday and Flag Day -- permanently. In a video posted to his official TikTok account Tuesday evening, Trump sat in the Oval Office and said that the Eiffel Tower in Paris was supposed to be a temporary structure, but that France kept it up -- suggesting that the UFC arena is "quite attractive to a lot of people" so "maybe we'll never ever take it down." "People don't know that in Paris, France,...
