(Bizuayehu Tesfaye/Las Vegas Review-Journal/TNS) WASHINGTON — Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby was among the invited guests for Sunday night’s UFC Freedom 250 fight card on the South Lawn of the White House. Crosby, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and close friend of UFC president and CEO Dana White, was in the crowd of about 4,300 in the temporary outdoor venue. Photos were posted shortly before the event at what appeared to be a gathering inside the White House where he was accompanied by his friend and podcast co-host Brogan Roback, as well as former NFL players and “Bussin’ With The Boys” hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. Compton played for the Raiders in 2019 and 2021. One of the more surprising sports appearances of the night was former heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, who was reportedly banned from entering the United States due to his associations with Irish crime boss Daniel Kinahan. “The smell of freedom is in the air,” Fury said in a video posted on his social media account. WWE superstar Roman Reigns was also in the venue, which was packed with service members and politicians. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Ohio congressman Jim Jordan were all in attendance. So was Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. White was sitting with Trump, who was accompanied by first lady Melania Trump.
