UFC Freedom 250 is officially set for a historic staging on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington DC on Sunday, June 14.
The card will be headlined by a lightweight title unification bout between undefeated lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. In the co-main event, Ciryl Gane will face Alex Pereira for an interim heavyweight title.
Pereira enters UFC Freedom 250 described as a former middleweight and light heavyweight champion aiming to win titles in three divisions. The event’s lineup also features five additional fights that include former champions and current top contenders.
President Donald Trump publicly floated the idea of hosting UFC fights at the White House 11 months prior to the event, and UFC Freedom 250 now brings that concept to the South Lawn for a full fight card.
