The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has officially announced its fight card for the UFC Freedom 250 event, set to take place on June 14, 2026, at the White House in Washington, D.C. This event is part of President Donald Trump's America 250 celebration. The card features two championship bouts: Ilia Topuria will face Justin Gaethje for the UFC World Lightweight Championship, while Alex Pereira will take on Ciryl Gane for the interim UFC Heavyweight Championship. Additional matchups include Sean O’Malley against Aiemann Zahabi, Michael Chandler squaring off against Mauricio Ruffy, Kyle Daukaus battling Bo Nickal, and Steve Garcia facing Diego Lopes.
