Historic UFC White House Card Revealed
Moments earlier, during the live broadcast of UFC 326, the promotion revealed the official bout list for the White House event, which will take place on June 14.
Check out the announcement below:
In total, there will be six bouts (2 title fights) as Dana White had said before. The card will be billed as UFC Freedom 250.
UFC White House main event
The main event features a title unification bout between reigning UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and current and two-time interim champ Justin Gaethje.
UFC White House Co-main
The co-main event features a clash between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane for the interim UFC heavyweight championship.
“Poatan” vacated his 205-pound throne and moved up, and now, while champion Tom Aspinall recovers, he and Gane will fight for the interim strap until the Brit is ready to compete again.
Check out the other four bouts.
Sean O’Malley vs. Aiemann Zahabi (Bantamweight bout)
Mauricio Ruffy vs. Michael Chandler (Lightweight bout)
Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus (Middleweight bout)
Diego Lopes vs. Steve Garcia (Featherweight bout)
Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Colby Covington, Islam Makhachev, and many other stars’ fans expected to see compete on June 14 are not part of the card and will not throw down on the South Lawn of the White House.
