“UFC Freedom 250” is set to go down tomorrow (June 14) at The White House, and today 14 fighters will step on the scale in Washington D.C, to weigh-in for the event.
Topped by pair of championship matchups, the card’s headlining attraction is a lightweight title unification bout between undefeated Lightweight Champion Ilia Topuria and interim titleholder Justin Gaethje.
“The Highlight” won the interim belt for the second time when he defeated Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324, while Topuria’s last three fights have seen him knock out future UFC Hall of Famers Charles Oliveira, Max Holloway, and Alexander Volkanovski.

In the night’s second title bout, former two-division UFC champion Alex Pereira will look to make promotional history by becoming the first fighter to win titles in three different weight classes.
“Poatan” will square off with Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title, which Gane previously won in 2021. Gane has failed to win undisputed heavyweight gold in three different fights, the most recent of which was a UFC 321 main event with Tom Aspinall that ended in the first round due to inadvertent eye pokes from the Frenchman.

In addition to the two title fights, the card also features a potential bantamweight title eliminator between Sean O’Malley and Aiemann Zahabi. Derrick Lewis also meets undefeated heavyweight contender Josh Hokit in what was a surprise addition to the card after Mauricio Ruffy takes on Michael Chandler.
