Ilia Topuria Drops Confident Reaction to His Fight Against Justin Gaethje After UFC Announces Historic Freedom Fights 250 Card
The UFC will invest over $60 million for a six-fight card featuring an octagon on the White House lawn with Topuria defending the lightweight title against Gaethje.
- The UFC confirmed Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje as the main event of 'Freedom Fights 250- The White House' on June 14.
- Amid shifting plans, negotiations produced Gaethje as the opponent after a chaotic week, with UFC 324 crowning him interim champion against Paddy Pimblett.
- The UFC is investing more than $60,000,000 and will erect an octagon on the White House lawn for the six-fight card expected to host around 5,000 spectators.
- Topuria returns to defend his lightweight crown and unify against the interim lightweight champion, postponing his welterweight move to target Makhachev after past challengers Volkanovski, Holloway, and Oliveira failed to beat him.
- The card will also include Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane for an interim heavyweight title, and the event lands on June 14, coinciding with Donald Trump's 80th birthday and the United States 250th anniversary.
