Dana White gave President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, a behind-the-scenes look at the UFC 250 Freedom event that took place on June 14 on the White House lawn.
The 19-year-old posted a video on YouTube on Tuesday that gave viewers a peek at a day spent one-on-one with White. Her vlog started with her morning at Starbucks and Sephora, but then she headed to Thesis Gym and White started their day with a workout.
“We’ve have a full day. It’s gonna be a very long day,” White said.
The day before the fight, Trump joined the UFC president on the White House lawn to watch the Nitro Circus “Wheel Team Six” motorcyclists perform. The show included a daring backflip from Travis Pastrana.
White then proceeded to give Trump an exclusive tour of the extravagant stadium, built specifically for the White House event, where they encountered a number of those who would be involved in the production, such as Joe Rogan and Nina Drama.
While getting ready for the weigh-in ceremony, Trump and White made their way through the crowd of supporters while taking pictures and signing autographs with fans. They were onstage for the weigh-in ceremony at the beginning of the event with Steve Garcia and Diego Lopes as the sea of patriotic supporters cheered in response.
Trump ended her vlog with a montage of the UFC fighters and fireworks show.
The UFC fight at the White House was just one small part of the massive celebration for America’s 250th anniversary, and it also happened to fall on President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.
Weather concerns earlier in the evening had prompted the UFC to initiate a one-hour delay for the first fight — and participants were warned that once things got underway, any lightning strikes near the White House would trigger an additional automatic 30-minute delay.
