Jack Posobiec and Will Cain highlighted the impressive politeness from Japanese fans.

Former NBA player Jay Williams attended both UFC Freedom 250 and the NBA Finals last week.

According to Williams, the event on the White House South Lawn was the better event.

Jay Williams told Stephen A. Smith on ESPN, "I was there, 4,000-seat arena [for the UFC]. I gotta be honest, coming off the NBA Finals where I was at multiple NBA Finals games, better event than the NBA Finals, With the White House literally being right there, incredible."

UFC President Dana White said the event "looked spectacular" and praised the UFC staff for their hard work, "We did it, guys! We made it happen."

A post on social media compared the event to a "Klan rally," but Williams and his colleague Stephen A. Smith refused to take politics out of the equation.

They praised the atmosphere, saying it was "special" and "one-of-one."

UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje and his family were also there, supporting his teammates.

The event was organized to celebrate the USA's 250th anniversary and was attended by President Trump and his family.

The White House Octagon is said to cost $60 million to construct. There have been many historic moments in the sports world but this event stands out.

The event marked a turning point for the UFC, showcasing its growth and popularity in the country. There's an argument the UFC has surpasses the NHL and PGA, placing it as the fourth most popular league in the United States.

Former ESPN host Jemele Hill was among those who criticized the event.

Jay Williams' statement sparked a lot of reactions. He is not alone in thinking it was a better event. Many fans were also impressed by the historic moment and the energy the crowd.

Oh, and Jay Williams is right. UFC Freedom 250 was a better event than the NBA Finals, says one writer from Fox News.
