Panic World: We Went To The UFC Fight At The White House

Ryan and Grant traveled to Washington, DC to attend UFC Freedom 250, one of the strangest sporting events in recent memory: a UFC card held at the White House and promoted as part of a celebration for President Trump's birthday.

What they found wasn't exactly what they expected.

There were $30 margaritas, $120 graphic tees, a mechanical bull, and thousands of fight fans. But surprisingly few people seemed interested in the politics — or even aware that the event was supposed to be a birthday celebration at all.
