UFC Freedom 250 is locked in for Sunday, June 14, 2026, with a seven-fight lineup and opening betting odds now out for the historic event on the White House lawn, streaming on Paramount+.
The main event features Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje in a UFC lightweight re-unification bout. Topuria is listed as a -500 favorite against Gaethje at +380.
In the co-main event, Alex Pereira moves up to heavyweight to face Ciryl Gane for the interim UFC heavyweight title. Oddsmakers have opened the bout as a pick’em, with Pereira (-110) and Gane (-110).
The rest of the card includes Sean O’Malley (-440) vs. Aiemann Zahabi (+340), Josh Hokit (-410) vs. Derrick Lewis (+320), Bo Nickal (-345) vs. Kyle Daukaus (+275), Mauricio Ruffy (-675) vs. Michael Chandler (+490), and Diego Lopes (-155) vs. Steve Garcia (+130).
Topuria enters UFC Freedom 250 having not fought since June 28, 2025, when he defeated Charles Oliveira, after prior wins over Max Holloway and Alex Volkanovski. Gaethje comes in as the interim titleholder after defeating Paddy Pimblett in January, following a win over Rafael Fiziev and a KO loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300 in 2024.
Pereira’s heavyweight move follows his run back to the light heavyweight belt, which he regained with a first-round TKO over Magomed Ankalaev in October after a decision loss to Ankalaev seven months earlier.
