The UFC is gearing up for an event like no other with UFC Freedom 250: Topuria vs. Gaethje, featuring the Lightweight Championship on the line Sunday night. This seven-fight card is a monumental event taking place on the South Lawn of the White House, becoming the first professional sporting event ever held at the White House.
UFC Freedom 250 features a temporary open-air arena, with the event serving as a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States. It also takes place on Flag Day and, coincidentally or not, President Donald Trump’s birthday.
Ilia Topuria enters with a perfect 17-0 record and last fought at UFC 317 nearly a full calendar year ago, when he earned a first-round KO/TKO victory over Charles Oliveira to become the Lightweight Champion. This marked Topuria’s second major UFC title, as he previously held the Featherweight Championship before vacating the division to move up in weight class. At just 29 years old, Topuria has a bright future ahead of him, but he faces no easy task on Sunday against veteran Justin Gaethje.
Gaethje last fought at UFC 324 in January, when he defeated Paddy Pimblett by unanimous decision to capture the interim Lightweight Championship, setting up this title unification bout with Topuria for the undisputed Lightweight title. The 37-year-old enters with a 27-5 record and is riding a two-fight win streak, with both victories coming by unanimous decision. However, he has lost three of his last eight fights since 2020.
