President Donald Trump celebrated his 80th birthday with a massive UFC event on the White House South Lawn after announcing a breakthrough peace agreement with Iran.
More than 4,000 spectators packed a temporary arena at the White House, while thousands more watched from nearby viewing areas.
Trump declared the Iran conflict was effectively over just hours before the event, saying a deal was nearing completion and the Strait of Hormuz would reopen.
UFC President Dana White hailed the event as an "incredible" once-in-a-lifetime spectacle as fighters squared off under the lights of the custom-built arena.
The President has tied the event to America's upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations, turning the White House into the centre of a uniquely American celebration.
