Two Virginia residents filed a lawsuit on Saturday in hopes of stopping President Donald Trump’s plans to host a UFC fight on the White House South Lawn as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration.

The suit, which was reviewed by Variety, was filed against the National Park Service and the United States Department of the Interior. The case points out several conflicts of interest for the President, and claims the “UFC Freedom 250” event will line the pockets of MAGA allies, like Paramount-Skydance CEO David Ellison and UFC CEO Dana White, and Trump himself. It goes on to claim that Trump this year purchased “up to $50,000 worth of stock in TKO, UFC’s owner.”
