Conor McGregor Drops Three-Word Reaction After White House Card Is Confirmed
UFC Freedom 250 will feature six fights including two world title bouts, with interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje facing Ilia Topuria as the main event.
- On March 8, the UFC announced UFC Freedom 250 will feature 6-7 fights on the White House lawn, scheduled for June 14, UFC confirmed.
- Marcel Dorff's photo showed two golden-belt icons at the top of the bout list, suggesting title fights; a deleted Instagram post from White hinted at a lineup unlikely to feature McGregor.
- The official bout list posted by UFC shows interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje will headline against lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, while Alex Pereira moves up to face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title.
- Observers point to Conor McGregor's age 37 and nearly five-year layoff as he tweets 'I'M FIGHTING AT THE WHITE HOUSE', though title fights atop the card make him unlikely to headline.
- Although title fights usually top numbered cards, the White House card is not like other pay-per-views, altering expected billing order and McGregor's comeback traces to his July 2021 injury and canceled June 2024 bout.
