Workers were seen assembling domed arches and a staging area, which based on online renderings, will form an octagon-shaped ring surrounded by a wire-mesh fence and thousands of temporary seats.

US President Donald Trump previously said the project will be the "biggest event" the UFC has ever had, featuring an "arena right outside the front door of the White House".

Dubbed UFC Freedom 250, the event is due to take place on 14 June, with the UFC set to spend around $60m (£44.3m) on the project.

How easy will it take for a bad actor to get into this event? Be just something a terrorist would love to advantage of. And the way the Trump administration is filled with unqualified yes men. Beyond how fucking stupid this is. It also dangerous to have something so fucking dumb that close to the White House.

Just to be clear is Trump really going be attending this thing? Outside? This fucker is begging for ballroom to protect himself but this is safe? Come on what a joke.

I see they are setting up the public hanging platform. I thought we ordered guillotines.
