It’s time for one of the most unique sporting events of all time. UFC Freedom 250 touches down on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday for a seven-fight card, headlined by two title fights. Lightweight champion Ilia Topuria looks to unify his title against interim champ Justin Gaethje in the main event while an interim heavyweight champion is crowned when Alex Pereira takes on Ciryl Gane. It all goes down as part of a celebration of America’s 250th birthday as well as President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.
The heat between Topuria and Gaethje has intensified throughout the week in D.C. Topuria took exception to Gaethje father calling him “another short guy” as well as the interim champion appearing to reference his now ex-wife after a nasty divorce. Gaethje, for his part, doesn’t believe he ever made a bad comment about Topuria’s ex and believes that the champion is just looking for extra motivation.

A win on Sunday for Gaethje would be a fitting cap to an incredible career in which he twice held the interim title. “The Highlight” is known for racking up performance bonuses, but has never been able to get over the hump for the full title.
Sunday night promises to be an incredibly memorable one regardless of what fighter fans support. The UFC has plenty of tricks of their sleeves when it comes to the presentation and if the Noche UFC event at Sphere two years ago is any indication, Sunday night’s show could be one for the books.
