Red, White, and Blue Octagon: UFC's Patriotic Makeover for White House Showdown

The UFC is pulling out every patriotic stop for Freedom 250, and that includes giving the sport’s iconic Octagon Girls a complete red, white, and blue overhaul. Red Dela Cruz and Chrissy Blair modeled the collection of outfits that’ll grace the White House South Lawn on June 14, President Trump’s birthday — and these aren’t your typical fight-night fits.

The designs range from Wonder Woman-inspired looks to something straight out of a Betsy Ross fever dream, with flowing stars and stripes patterns woven throughout. Four different costume sets will rotate during the ceremonial weigh-ins and fight night itself, ensuring every moment captured on screen radiates patriotic flair. It’s the kind of detail that shows how seriously the UFC — and Dana White’s organization — is treating this event as something genuinely historic.

And the Octagon Girls aren’t the only ones getting the stars-and-stripes treatment. Fighters are also suited up in special USA-themed trunks, and even the championship belts got a patriotic facelift. When you’re hosting an MMA card at the most iconic residence in the country, apparently no detail is too small to nationalize. The temporary structure for the Octagon is already in place on the South Lawn, turning what was once America’s most formal lawn into fight central. At this point, Dana White’s organization has set a new bar for what a championship event can be — and it’s not just about the fights anymore.
