Summary
Jay Williams said on ESPN Monday that UFC Freedom 250 outshone the NBA Finals after he attended both events last week.
The former NBA player pointed to the White House South Lawn setting and the 4,000-seat arena, calling the scene "incredible" with the White House "literally being right there."
Dana White said the UFC spent $60 million to build the temporary structure around the Octagon and called the show a "one-of-one" that "will never happen again."
Stephen A. Smith separately said the event "looked spectacular," while criticism from some sports-media figures underscored the political divide around the Trump-promoted 250th anniversary card.
