WASHINGTON — Thousands of UFC fans, left-wing protesters and supporters of President Trump descended on the White House Sunday evening as the commander in chief prepared to celebrate his 80th birthday with a seven-fight card on the South Lawn. Trump and about 4,000 ticketed guests have reserved seats in the custom-made “Claw” — a steel lighting, camera and tarp overhang that dwarfs the adjacent executive mansion — while up to 120,000 ticketed guests will be able to watch the contests on the Ellipse just to the south. Mixed martial arts fans rushed toward checkpoints to enter the watch party while chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” ahead of the first bout at 8 p.
