The White House Builds UFC Stage, And Everyone Has The Same Joke

The White House is turning into a UFC stadium and everyone online had the same joke about the sorry state of affairs.

For those unaware, UFC Freedom 250 is coming on June 14. And, they’re holding this random event at The White House. The Donald Trump administration has cozied up to Dana White’s Ultimate Fighting Championship. Now, we’ve got a spectacle on our hands.

If you look at the big scaffolding they’ve made for the lighting setup, it looks like it belongs at an amusement park. But, the people online all landed on The White House looking like Six Flags. We have to admit, that’s not wrong! It’s a wild world we live in now.

According to reporting by ABC News, the president has claimed that the event would be free to the public. But, at this scale and with the kind of money we’re talking about here, I would bet my house that there will be at least tiered passes for the event.

Everyone involved in this stunt is probably going to take home some serious money. Well, except for certain fighters who weren’t selected by Crypto.com. UFC supplied those details to the public. So, everything is upside down.

The White House looks like the worst Six Flags you’ve ever been to

UFC Freedom Fights 250  Has given us one silver lining though. And, that’s these excellent Six flags jokes all over social media. We’ve taken a couple of them and had our fun with these accurate reads on the state of affairs here in the United States of America.

For theme park enthusiasts, this is child’s play. Bill Childs joked that that every single Six Flags location “has more dignity than this s***. Yes, even Six Flags America (RIP).” Someone named Azeke said that it looks like the Batman coaster at Six Flags Great America.

A great take on the thrill ride of it all comes from Jeff Strorobinsky. He said, “ I figured it out. This is a roller coaster that was meant for a new 6 flags theme park but the delivery address got messed up and by the time anyone could figure it out it was already being constructed.”

Count us in with @brucey0brucey who is currently wonderine what in the “Six Flags over Kentucky Kingdom” is going on over at The White House. Clearly, in an age where it’s harder to go viral than ever, this has cut through in a major way.

Moving past criticism or just obstacles

So, there will be around 75,000 to 100,000 people present near that stage on the South Lawn. That’s just a ton of fans present. With all the security concerns, expect Washington, D.C. to be a minefield during this spectacle. In the media availability, Trump would lay out his vision. 

“Our country is invited to this, it’s free,” Trump explained. “They’re going to set up eight big screens and they’re going to have the fight. And then out here, we’re going to have 4,000 seats right in front of the front door of the White House.”
