President Donald Trump hosted a UFC fight night on the White House South Lawn on Sunday as part of celebrations marking America's 250th anniversary.
The event, which coincided with Trump's 80th birthday and Flag Day, was the first professional sporting event held at the presidential residence.
Trump watched from cage-side alongside first lady Melania Trump and UFC CEO Dana White as thousands attended on-site and at nearby fan zones.
The main event saw American Justin Gaethje defeat Spanish-Georgian fighter Ilia Topuria to win the UFC lightweight championship, ending Topuria's undefeated record.
In the co-main event, France's Ciryl Gane knocked out Brazil's Alex Pereira to capture the interim heavyweight title.
Other winners included Sean O'Malley, Josh Hokit, Bo Nickal, Mauricio Ruffy and Diego Lopes.
Dana White described the event as a celebration of America's 250th anniversary and said it carried no political agenda.
The event attracted administration officials, lawmakers and high-profile guests, while protesters gathered outside the White House.
A legal challenge seeking to block the event was rejected by a judge before fight night.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released ahead of the event found many Americans were skeptical about holding a UFC event at the White House.
