The first fight card for the UFC Freedom 250 will be held on the South Lawn on June 14 at the White House lawn. The main event will see lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and interim champion Justin Gaethje compete to unify their titles. The co-main event will feature former middleweight and two-time light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira against former interim heavyweight champ Ciryl Gane. The card is packed with fights that promise action and feature familiar names. High-stakes action is also set as Lopes and Garcia clash, with Lopes entering the fight in an unusual spot having twice lost to Alexander Volkanovski in featherweight championship fights. Despite being a few spots below the top, the main event is considered more exciting than the other fights.
