South Lawn of the White House

Bo Nickal stops Kyle Daukaus late in the first round at UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House, reinforcing his status as one of the UFC’s fastest-rising contenders. The American dominates on the ground before closing the show with a sharp combination on the feet.

Dana White’s inclusion in TIME’s inaugural list of the 100 most influential figures in sport underlines the UFC chief executive’s reach beyond combat sports. The recognition arrives days before a high-profile UFC event planned for the White House South Lawn.
