Trump, turning 80, celebrates his age with big UFC birthday bash

Published



President Donald Trump is marking America’s 250th birthday, but also a milestone of his own, as he hosts a cage match of herculean proportions at the White House this Sunday.

The event, a UFC fight that cost an estimated $60 million and will gather 4,300 guests in a makeshift Octagon arena on the South Lawn, will coincide with Trump’s 80th birthday. And he’s celebrating it with a fanfare his predecessor did not. Joe Biden, the first octogenarian president, remained out of the limelight and held a subdued brunch instead when he turned 80 in 2022.
