New Fox Nation show blows open the wild secrets inside the ‘impossible’ White House UFC fight
A new behind-the-scenes documentary launching this Thursday will reveal how UFC CEO Dana White and President Donald Trump pulled off the "impossible" task of hosting a fight on the White House lawn.
The two-part documentary, "UFC Fight House: The Making of the Biggest Fight in History," lands exclusively on Fox Nation and takes viewers through what it took to put on the UFC Freedom 250 event.
It chronicles the unprecedented effort to stage an event on the South Lawn and features both White and Trump describing the all-out push to bring it to life.

"More than a year ago, we set out to do the impossible—build the Octagon on the White House South Lawn—for the biggest and most historic event in sports history," White said.
"From constructing an arena from scratch, to navigating weather challenges, and a team working around the clock—it was an incredibly surreal experience. I can’t wait for fans to see the behind-the-scenes story of this event," he added.
White noted that the documentary gives Americans a look at the "craziness" behind an event that drew an estimated 34 million global viewers.

"It’s a look at the craziness that went on behind the scenes making this once-in-a-lifetime event happen and a true tribute to America’s 250th celebration. If you wrote a script of what happened, you wouldn’t believe what REALLY happened was possible!" he added.
Produced by the Emmy Award-winning UFC Originals team, "UFC Fight House" tracks White from the earliest planning stages all the way to the big event. It also gives exclusive access to the Oval Office meeting where Trump and White spoke about the event.
Viewers will experience the intense pressure behind coordinating military flyovers, security planning and rapidly changing weather, all before the president makes his entrance.

Other featured voices include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Ivanka Trump, UFC Chief Content Officer Craig Borsari, UFC commentator Jon Anik and more. Fox Nation President Lauren Petterson described the "historic event" and partnership with UFC.
"We’re excited to partner with UFC to bring our subscribers an exclusive look behind one of the most ambitious live sporting events ever produced. UFC Fight House showcases the incredible teamwork, innovation and perseverance that transformed an extraordinary idea into a historic event."
Following the event last month, the FBI and Justice Department announced there had been a planned terror attack on the event, and that multiple suspects had been arrested in connection.
The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted the plot, which was meant to target the UFC Freedom 250 event on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14. Major figures, including Vice President JD Vance, were in attendance.
According to authorities, the plot called for explosive drones to hit buildings near the event, force an evacuation, and steer crowds toward a team of snipers.
"UFC Fight House: The Making of the Biggest Fight in History" drops exclusively on Fox Nation July 2.
