The UFC Freedom 250 cage fight at the White House was unprecedented, and AP photo editors and photographers worked tirelessly to ensure the one-of-a-kind event would be visually documented for AP clients and audiences.
The team worked with the White House and UFC organizers to secure the best possible positions for the AP photo team. From meticulous preparation to rapid filing, the photo team worked like a well-oiled and highly efficient machine to deliver images from the South Lawn, capturing moments of the historic event that celebrated President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The event also fell on Flag Day, honoring the U.S. flag.
