"It was supposed to be an exhibition of freedom without restraint: a bombastic birthday boy (the President), fourteen uncontrollable athletes (courtesy of the UFC), and a South Lawn build-out that was piss-your-pants patriotic (dive-bombing bald eagles). But what united onlookers, in the end, was the sudden realization that American machismo had hit a hard limit."

Must-read of the day: with all of his trademark dark humor and psychological insight, bestselling author @jonronson reports for @GQMagazine on the White House lawn UFC fight.
