Oct 5 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that a previously announced Ultimate Fighting Championship event at the White House will take place on June 14 next year, which will be the president's 80th birthday.

He made the announcement during a speech at Naval Station Norfolk to mark the upcoming 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy.

Trump in July had announced that a UFC event would take place at the White House in 2026, but did not give a date. He counts UFC President Dana White as a close friend and considers fans of the sport part of his political base, although their ties long predate Trump's presidency.

White this week told the Sports Business Journal that the UFC will spend $700,000 to replace the South Lawn grass at the White House after the event.

1. This so important!

I mean, seriously - where would these fights take place except the Whitehouse? Hopefully the finest non-white combatants will be on display - and following that, ICE can escort them out of the country with at thank you letter from our great leader.

Oh, wait... Just got off a binge watching stream of Soylent Green, Idiocracy, Django Unchained and (only cause I need to detox) Fantastic Voyage.

7. This is a trailer trash thing to do

This is not the mark of a sane and wealthy individual. This is the signature move of a trailer trash low life who just won the lottery.

8. Why does this give me "Django Unchained" vibes...?

[Bayard]

9. Can this be far behind?

trump continues to embarrass all the sane people in this country, but MAGAts and sadists eat it up. Why not have it in his new golden ballroom? Sell tickets? That should take care of the national debt.

This crap is as fake as he is.

10. He won't be celebrating his birthday next year.

I doubt he'll be celebrating New Year's 2026.

On the other hand WE will have a party on his birthday and dance on his grave.
