First professional UFC night planned for White House South Lawn
UFC Freedom 250 is planned to take place on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, marking the first professional sporting event at the White House. The night will feature two title fights, with Ilia Topuria facing Justin Gaethje in the main event.
UFC Freedom 250 stands out as the first professional sporting event planned for the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. The mixed martial arts night has become one of the year's most talked-about events.
The event is scheduled to take place about three weeks before Independence Day and on President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. The UFC described the event as "the most historic sporting event in history."
A lawsuit filed last week to stop the event was unsuccessful, leaving no legal obstacles ahead of the program.
The night's main and co-main events
In the main event, Ilia Topuria will defend his lightweight belt against Justin Gaethje. This bout was announced as the most anticipated fight on the card.
In the co-main event, Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane will face off for the interim UFC heavyweight championship. The card will thus feature two title fights on the same night.
Holding a professional fight event at a symbolic venue like the White House has placed the event not only on the sports agenda but also at the center of political and social debate.
