'Greatest show on Earth': Donald Trump's enormous claim while unveiling White House UFC designs
US President Donald Trump has unveiled what the White House UFC event on June 14 will look like, as well as a bespoke title belt for the event.
The event has been discussed and planned for over a year and will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The White House itself will seat 4,000 people, with the ring in the centre and a marquee above with "UFC Freedom 250" written on its roof.

Two enormous arches will also be hung over the Octagon as part of framing the White House.
Trump claims another 75,000 to 100,000 people will be able to watch the fights in the "park across the street", saying eight big screens will be set up.
"Our country is invited to this. It's free," he said while showing off the stage designs.
"This will be the greatest show on Earth."
The president described the 4,000 tickets to the event the "hardest" he's ever had to give away.
Every fighter that wins on the card will receive a bespoke UFC title belt featuring the red, white and blue.
Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje will fight to unify the lightweight title in the main-event of the event, while Alex Pereira will face Ciryl Gane for the heavyweight interim title.

Gaethje and Topuria stood behind Trump's desk as he unveiled the design renders and the title belt.
"What an unbelievable honour. To have a president that's willing to go against an upstream and against the norms is truly special. That's why you got my vote. And it's why we're such a great nation right now compared to where we were," Gaethje said.
UFC boss Dana White has previously claimed fighters will emerge from the White House itself as they walk out to the Octagon.
Despite claiming it will be the "greatest show on Earth", the UFC failed to secure a true superstar headliner, with rumours of Jon Jones or Conor McGregor returning ultimately falling flat.
Early rumours suggested that Jake Paul could be lured to compete at the event, likely fuelled by White's rhetoric that this would be the UFC's greatest ever card.
The reveal of the co main-events was met with general disappointment by fans, even if they may still deliver on the night.
