UFC White House is almost here. As part of the ongoing 250th celebration year of the United States of America, U.S. President Donald Trump and UFC CEO Dana White have organized a star-studded seven-fight mixed martial arts card — dubbed UFC Freedom 250 — to take place in the nation’s capital this summer.
Here’s everything you need to know about the historic event.
When is the UFC Freedom 250 fight?
UFC Freedom 250 takes place on Sunday, June 14 — the same day as Flag Day in the United States, as well as Trump’s 80th birthday. The latter fact may or may not be coincidental, depending on who you ask.
The entire event begins at 8 p.m. ET.
Who’s headlining the UFC Freedom 250 card?
A title unification match between UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and interim champion Justin Gaethje is set to close out the show.
The undefeated Topuria (17-0) is a two-division champion and one of the biggest stars in the UFC. A dangerous knockout artist who first won the UFC featherweight title (145 pounds) with historic finishes of future Hall of Famers Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway, Topuria, 29, captured his lightweight belt (155 pounds) with a first-round knockout of former champion Charles Oliviera in June 2025.
Gaethje (27-5) is widely considered one of the most entertaining in-cage fighters in MMA history. He’s a two-time interim champion, having also won an interim belt back in 2020. Gaethje, 37, is however winless in undisputed UFC title bouts, falling short to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2020 and then Oliveira in 2022.
