The UFC White House card finally has its headliner.
Undefeated superstar Ilia Topuria will defend his lightweight championship against interim champ Justin Gaethje on the South Lawn of the White House at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday, June 14.
Topuria (17–0, 9–0 UFC) became a two-division champion when he starched Charles Oliveira in the first round at UFC 317 to claim the 155-pound crown. He first captured gold in the featherweight division, sparking Alexander Volkanovski in the second before defending the belt with a third-round KO of Max Holloway.
Gaethje (27–5, 10–5 UFC) seized the interim strap with a dominant unanimous decision over Paddy Pimblett in January. He’s won four of his last five bouts, including a knockout of Dustin Poirier for the BMF belt in July 2023.
Topuria enters as a heavy -455 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Gaethje sits as a +350 underdog.
