Construction, with Warwick Twp. company's staging, starting at White House for UFC event in June

May 26-In late April, a large structure appeared on Furnace Hills Pike in Warwick Township.

It was a test for an open-air studio structure that Tait Global, an entertainment company in Warwick Township, custom built for the UFC Freedom 250 mixed martial events, to be held at 8 p.m. Sunday, June 14.

Construction, including the studio structure, has recently started on the White House's South Lawn, according to media reports.

The UFC event, to be held on President Donald Trump's birthday, is part of ongoing celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Matches include a lightweight title bout between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje, and the heavyweight interim title bout between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane. The program will be livestreamed on Paramount+, with a subscription required.

Tori Hartman, senior marketing manager for Tait Global, said in an April 27 email about the structure that, "we take client confidentiality seriously across all of our projects and are not providing further comment at this time."
