6. Fact check: Nope!

Is a photo showing the White House South Lawn torn up and under construction for the UFC Fight Night ring in early June 2026 authentic? No, that's not true: The image of the White House lawn with the grass torn out and a large outdoor stadium was rated as likely AI-generated. Photos of the construction available from reputable photo agencies do not show the level of damage depicted in the image as of early June 2026.

...the before and after images of the White House are fake, as evident from the real fountain near the actual South Lawn incorrectly placed too close to the building. The image also placed the Washington Monument to the North of the White House, while it's actually in the south.

The photos also incorrectly depicted the road at the bottom of the South Lawn, curving it down instead of up toward the White House.

The glaring geographical mistakes suggested that it was made using Artificial Intelligence.
