Dana White anticipates UFC Freedom 250, scheduled for June 14 in Washington D.C., to achieve viewership numbers comparable to the Super Bowl. The event, announced by former President Donald Trump, features two significant title fights: Ilia Topuria will face Justin Gaethje for the lightweight title, while Alex Pereira will battle Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title. Despite concerns about a 65% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms that could impact attendance, White remains optimistic. He emphasized the extensive planning involved in staging the event, including the construction of a structure to accommodate the Octagon and the installation of a lighting grid system called 'The Claw' flown in from Belgium. White boldly stated that if the event does not win all production awards, the awards should be discontinued, citing previous disappointments with award outcomes in the industry.
