Officials said that the process of measuring the weight of the players before the match will be held at the Lincoln Memorial.

Trump and UFC Chief have a very old friendship
The friendship between Trump and Dana White is very old. Before entering politics, Trump had allowed UFC to organize fighting events in his hotels and properties. At that time many people criticized this game.
Dana White, in turn, publicly supported Trump several times. According to reports, Dana White also played an important role in convincing famous podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan to support Trump.
White House spokesman Davis Engle said the event would be one of the largest and most memorable sporting events in history.
Now know UFC…
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the largest mixed martial arts (MMA) organization in the world. In this, players of different fighting sports compete against each other.
UFC uses many fighting techniques such as boxing, wrestling, judo, karate, taekwondo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing.
In this sport, fighters fight in a special eight-cornered cage-like ring, which is called Octagon. During the fight, players use techniques like punch, kick, hold and ground fighting.
UFC started in America in 1993. Initially it was considered a very violent sport, but later many safety rules were added to it and now it is counted among the most popular sports events in the world.
