UFC has released a slow-motion video recap of last weekend’s Freedom 250 event from Washington D.C., spotlighting a chaotic night capped by Justin Gaethje’s massive upset title win over Ilia Topuria.
The Freedom 250 card was staged as a major White House-themed show, with fighter walkouts from the Oval Office and the White House serving as a backdrop. The production also included live music, pyrotechnics, custom videography, and a large claw structure over the Octagon.
Pre-fight buildup to the event involved unexpected lawsuits, potentially hazardous weather, and political backlash, but the card went ahead in the U.S. capital. The newly released slow-motion package focuses on Gaethje’s performance in the main event and six additional knockout finishes from the night.
The event was described as living up to the hype, even if it did not achieve Super Bowl-level ratings. One detail from the spectacle was summed up simply as: "Claw".
UFC dropped the Freedom 250 slow-motion recap on Friday, giving fans another look at one of the promotion’s most elaborately presented events.
