The UFC has officially unveiled its unprecedented White House fight card, set to take place on June 14 as part of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of American independence.

Soldier invites

Dig deeper:

Hundreds of service members have received official requests to attend the UFC match in uniform.

However, only service members who meet a certain height and weight requirement will receive the tickets, according to several reports and an alleged Pentagon memo that reads, "Ticket recipients are required to meet the WHtR standard of less than 0.55, as well as service-specific physical fitness test requirements."

Fan Fest

What you can do:

For fans who didn't get an invitation to the South Lawn, UFC is hosting a free Fan Fest leading up to the main event, along with a watch party on fight night.

White is expecting massive numbers for the viewing party, reportedly telling Trump that the Ellipse can hold up to 85,000 people.
