Pentagon Applies Waist-to-Height Ratio Test for White House UFC Event Tickets

The Pentagon is screening troops for tickets to a UFC event at the White House by measuring waist-to-height ratio. 55 threshold to qualify. Those who exceed the limit will not receive tickets.

The test uses a single ratio calculation rather than traditional body-fat or physical-fitness assessments. The Pentagon has not released additional criteria or appeal procedures.

The screening applies specifically to the upcoming White House UFC event. No other guest categories or ticket-allocation methods were described. The policy marks the first reported instance of a body-composition metric determining access to a presidential event.
