A lawsuit to halt an upcoming mixed martial arts UFC fight could dampen US President Donald Trump's 80th celebration.

 

This comes as the fight cage nears completion on the White House South Lawn.

 

Crews are erecting an octagon-shaped cage that will host the Sunday bout.

 

Thousands of temporary seats, including space for a full marching band, will be set up around the cage and the stage.

 

Water is also continuing to fill the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which was painted blue by Trump.

 

Meanwhile, a federal lawsuit has been filed to stop the UFC fight and another to halt the pool colour change.

 

The party suing against the fight says it violates National Park Service Regulations prohibiting sporting events on federal parklands.
