The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to make history by hosting its first professional sporting event at the White House in Washington, DC, on June 14. The event, titled UFC Freedom Fights 250, will feature a lightweight title bout between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. Topuria, who holds an undefeated record of 17-0, will defend his title against Gaethje, a two-time interim champion with a record of 27-5. This event coincides with the 250th anniversary of American independence and President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. The co-main event will see Alex Pereira challenge Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title, as Pereira aims to become the first fighter to win championships in three different weight divisions. The UFC is expected to invest around $60 million into the event, which will accommodate about 5,000 spectators on the South Lawn, with an additional 85,000 able to view from a nearby park. Notably, tickets will not be sold to the public, with 1,000 seats reserved for members of the US military.
