Judge denies bid to halt UFC Freedom 250 at the White House

A federal judge has rejected a lawsuit aiming to stop the UFC Freedom 250 event scheduled for Sunday night at the White House. U.S. District Court judge Amit Mehta ruled that the plaintiffs, representing two Virginia residents, did not demonstrate a likelihood of irreparable harm. The lawsuit claimed violations by the National Park Service and the U.S. Department of Interior regarding event permits and environmental review. Mehta acknowledged the UFC's $60 million investment in the show, impacting his decision against a temporary restraining order. The Public Integrity Project, which filed the suit, did not respond to the ruling.
