The Ultimate Fighting Championship has revealed the complete fight lineup for its UFC White House event on June 14, 2026.
“It’s done,” UFC CEO Dana White said during the UFC 326 broadcast. “We’re ready to roll. Here we come, Washington D.C.”
Undisputed lightweight champion Ilia Topuria will return to defend his title in a unification bout against interim champion Justin Gaethje.
Topuria has not fought since his technical knockout victory over Charles Oliveira in June 2025, while Gaethje earned the interim belt after defeating Paddy Pimblett in UFC 324.
In the co-main event, Alex Pereira, who recently gave up the light heavyweight crown, will face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight championship.
Former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley will also make his return against rising contender Aiemann Zahabi.
Other matchups include Mauricio Ruffy versus Michael Chandler, Bo Nickal against Kyle Daukaus, and Diego Lopes facing Steve Garcia to complete the main card.
The event, called UFC Freedom 250, will be held on the White House South Lawn as part of the 250th anniversary celebration of American independence, with the octagon at the center of the spectacle.
