A federal judge declined to block the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, allowing the mixed martial arts card to proceed as scheduled on June 14, 2026, on the South Lawn. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled on June 12 that the plaintiffs — two Virginia residents who challenged the Trump administration's authorization for the event — had not adequately demonstrated the harm required to justify an emergency injunction. Mehta also noted that the event had been publicly announced for nearly a year and that the plaintiffs did not seek emergency relief until June 7, leaving insufficient time for substantive judicial review before the scheduled date. The judge further observed that the $60 million the UFC had invested in the event weighed against a last-minute court-ordered stoppage.
The UFC Freedom 250 card was organized to coincide with the nation's 250th anniversary and President Trump's 80th birthday. The event marked the first time a major combat sports card had been held on White House grounds.
