The full UFC Freedom 250 White House build-out in photos

From aircraft carriers to helipads, sports is no stranger to unconventional locations, and this weekend will see another unusual venue added to the list: the White House South Lawn.

UFC Freedom 250 will, after months of planning and solving logistical puzzles, bring a UFC card to the nation’s capital, just under the shadow of the White House, on Sunday. Unsurprisingly, the unlikely location and custom-built arena have produced some fascinating images as the venue has taken shape in Washington, D.C.

Here’s a look at the scene outside the White House from a variety of angles.
