UFC Freedom 250 scheduled for White House on June 14, 2026

The UFC is set to host UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026, coinciding with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. The event will feature a seven-fight card, headlined by a bout between lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and interim champion Justin Gaethje. Attendance will be invitation-only, with around 5,000 guests expected, including notable public figures. However, many A-list celebrities have declined invitations, leading to a lack of high-profile attendees. The event has faced criticism and legal challenges due to its location and estimated $60 million cost.
