President Donald Trump held a historic event at the White House on his birthday, the Ultimate Fighting Championship Freedom 250 event.
The event ended with a military flyover, the national anthem by the Zac Brown Band, and a walkout with UFC CEO Dana White. As combatants moved and blood splattered during the bout, the winners often expressed their gratitude to President Trump for hosting the event.
The president celebrated his 80th birthday on Sunday without much fanfare.
