New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani shared a unique experience during his visit to the White House, revealing he was “flipping through” a coffee table book featuring concept art of a UFC fight. The democratic socialist described the moment as the “weirdest” thing he witnessed while meeting with President Donald Trump.
Mamdani mentioned in an interview on “The Adam Friedland Show” that during his wait for the meeting to begin, he noticed several coffee table books in front of him, including one titled “UFC at the White House.” He admitted he had “no idea” a fight was being planned at the White House but described the material as a “visualization” of the upcoming event.
The White House will host a UFC event on the South Lawn next year on June 14, marking Trump’s 80th birthday. The event is expected to include a fight in an octagon cage, weigh-in for fighters at the Lincoln Memorial, and fireworks and light shows. When asked if he plans to attend, Mamdani responded “No.”
The article focuses solely on Mamdani’s experience and the details of the event, without any additional context or commentary.
