华盛顿讯 一名联邦法官周五驳回了一项几乎没有胜算的申请,该申请试图阻止原定于本周末在白宫举办的终极格斗冠军赛(UFC)。
美国地区法官阿米特·梅hta(Amit Mehta)拒绝向两名华盛顿特区居民提供紧急救济,这两人曾寻求法院命令叫停UFC赛事。这两名特区居民苏珊·道格拉斯(Susan Douglas)和保罗·罗马诺(Paul Romano)于六天前提起诉讼,称即将举行的综合格斗赛事违反了白宫场地活动的相关限制,且为赛事搭建的名为“利爪”(Claw)的建筑属于非法施工。
但梅hta表示,原告未能证明自己会因该赛事受到损害,也不太可能证明自己具备起诉的法律资格,这一概念被称为“起诉资格”。
这场名为“UFC自由250”的赛事定于周日在白宫南草坪举行,当天恰逢特朗普总统的80岁生日,作为美国建国250周年庆祝系列活动的一部分。
为举办这场综合格斗赛事,工作人员耗时三周搭建了“利爪”——一座高92英尺的建筑,将容纳八角笼赛场。除周日的七场比赛外,“UFC自由250”还包含多场小型活动:周五将在林肯纪念堂举行新闻发布会和选手称重对决;周六将在椭圆广场举办UFC自由250粉丝嘉年华,届时将为14名选手举行正式称重仪式,并由乡村音乐组合扎克·布朗乐队(Zac Brown Band)带来表演。
白宫预计将有约4000人到场观看南草坪的UFC赛事,另有约12000名观众将在椭圆广场观赛。赛事将在Paramount+平台播出,该平台由哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS News)的母公司派拉蒙天空影业(Paramount Skydance)拥有。
白宫管理与行政主任安德鲁·费舍尔(Andrew Fischer)表示,白宫在提交给法院的文件中详述了为筹备和举办本周末UFC赛事所开展的大规模工作。共有700多名分包商参与施工,白宫和美国特勤局已为“UFC自由250”赛事及转播活动的2000多名参与者完成安全 clearance(注:此处因无标准译法,保留原文并补充说明:即安全准入审核)。
他还表示,UFC及其关联机构已为本次周末赛事投入超过6000万美元的筹备资金。

Washington — A federal judge on Friday rejected a long-shot effort to block the Ultimate Fighting Championship event set to take place at the White House this weekend.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta declined to grant emergency relief to two Washington, D.C., residents who sought a court order stopping the UFC event. The D.C. residents, Susan Douglas and Paul Romano, filed their lawsuit six days ago, alleging that the upcoming mixed martial arts fights violated restrictions related to events on White House grounds and that the structure, known as the Claw, that was built for the fights was constructed unlawfully.
But Mehta said the plaintiffs failed to establish that they would be harmed by the events and were unlikely to show that they had the legal right to sue, a concept known as standing.

The “UFC Freedom 250” event is set to take place on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday, President Trump’s 80th birthday, as part of a series of events taking place in celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
For the mixed martial arts event, crews have spent the past three weeks constructing the Claw, a 92-foot-tall structure that will house the Octagon. In addition to seven fights set for Sunday, “UFC Freedom 250” also includes several smaller events that begin Friday with a press conference and face-offs between fighters at the Lincoln Memorial. A ceremonial weigh-in for the 14 fighters and a performance by the Zac Brown Band, a country music group, are set for Saturday at the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest on the Ellipse.
The White House expects roughly 4,000 people to attend the UFC fights on the South Lawn, while an estimated 12,000 spectators are expected to watch from the Ellipse. The event is being broadcast on Paramount+, which is owned by Paramount Skydance, the parent company of CBS News.
In filings with the court, the White House described the massive effort to set up and execute the weekend’s UFC event. More than 700 subcontractors were hired to help with construction, and the White House and U.S. Secret Service cleared more than 2,000 people to participate in the “UFC Freedom 250” event and broadcast, according to Andrew Fischer, director for White House Management and Administration.
UFC and its affiliates have spent more than $60 million in preparation for the weekend, he said.
