UFC has released the full fight card for an event the league is planning on the White House grounds this summer.
“UFC Freedom 250,” an event timed to coincide with President Trump’s 80th birthday on Sunday, June 14 will feature a number of top names from across the sport and feature six prime-time fights just a few yards from the Oval Office and Rose Garden.
Lightweight fighters Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje will square off for the night’s main event, while undercard clashes between Brazilian Alex Pereira and France’s Ciryl Gane are also slated for competition.
U.S. star Sean O’Malley will take on Canada’s Aiemann Zahabi while American Michael Chandler is scheduled to take on Brazilian fighter Mauricio Ruffy.
The event, announced by the president last fall, will take place in an Octagon constructed on the South Lawn of the White House and is one of several major events happening in the U.S. during his second term including America’s 250th birthday, the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics.
