White said his head of production, UFC Chief Content Officer and Executive Producer Craig Borsari, went through a rundown with a video rendering with him last week of exactly what the setups at the White House and fan events will look like. He has said there will be about 5,000 people on the South Lawn and around 80,000 fans at The Ellipse, a nearby park.

“UFC is coming as you know in front of the White House,“ said Trump. “They’re building literally a stadium. We’re going to have over 100,000 people.”
