It’s been eight months since the president announced that the White House would host a UFC event of the America Freedom 250 celebration on June 14. After much speculation, industry insider predictions, and fighters lobbying to be part of the historic event, we now know who’ll be competing on the White House Lawn.
The fight promotion announced the full fight card during Saturday’s UFC 326 broadcast on Paramount+ and CBS. The event will feature six bouts including two world title fights.
In the main event, lightweight champion Ilia Topuria returns to the octagon to take on interim titleholder Justin Gaethje. In the co-main event, former two-division champion Alex Pereira moves up to the heavyweight division to take on Ciryl Gane for the interim title.
In other action, former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley faces No. 6 ranked Aiemann Zahabi. In the lightweight division, No. 9 ranked Mauricio Ruffy takes on No. 13 ranked Michael Chandler.
In a middleweight clash, Bo Nickal and Kyle Daukaus meet while a featherweight bout between No. 2 ranked Diego Lopes and No. 8 ranked Steve Garcia kicks off the fight card.
