00:00Tonight's Freedom 250 to celebrate Trump's 80th birthday is unlike anything the UFC has
00:05ever done.
00:06The event is taking place on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., making
00:10it the first major professional fight card ever held at the presidential residence.
00:14But the fights are not the only thing getting attention.
00:17Critics are questioning the event's ties to a Trump-linked cryptocurrency that will
00:22reportedly be used for fighter bonuses, while others have raised questions about how a UFC
00:26event on federal property is being regulated.
00:29The White House insists there is no conflict of interest.
00:32One thing is certain, tonight's headlines may be almost as interesting as the fights themselves.
