Hunter Biden challenges Donald Trump Jr. to cage fight as he slams White House UFC event

Hunter Biden has once again raised the possibility of a fight between himself and Donald Trump Jr. as he called out the UFC fight on the White House Lawn.

UFC Freedom 250 was held at the White House in an event that saw a giant cage constructed on the grounds of the US president's home, and it wasn't without controversy.

Sean Strickland was escorted away after claiming he'd been 'banned' from attending, with UFC boss Dana White having to clarify that he hadn't been banned, he'd just not been invited.

Meanwhile, after his win Josh Hokit declared 'Michelle Obama is a man', spreading a far-right conspiracy theory that has become popular among some of Donald Trump's most fervent supporters.

Again, White had to run damage control saying he was 'completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families' and he hates 'that kind of nonsense'.

The latest critic of the event is Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, Trump's successor and predecessor in the White House.

Taking to social media, he responded to a report that popular podcaster Joe Rogan had told people who didn't like a UFC event being held on the White House lawn to 'shut the f**k up'.

Biden said he wished he could meet Rogan in person to 'explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House'.

He praised the UFC brand that had been built as a 'bona fide American success story' and said the bravery of fighters willing to put their bodies on the line was 'remarkable', but argued that 'some of our public spaces are sacred'.

"The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for," Biden wrote.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide… pic.twitter.com/cf47rjMops

Arguing that the UFC event could have been held in many venues more fitting, he suggested an alternative to Rogan as he pitched: "Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn."

This is not the first time something like this has been suggested.

Earlier this year Hunter Biden had been on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan when the idea had been suggested, and the son of the former president hadn't said no.

"I think he's trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr." Biden had said of Callaghan, who had said he was happy to set things up if one of Trump's sons was 'willing to engage Hunter in mutual combat'.

Given the way things are going you never know, it just might happen.
