Overview
- Set for June 14 on the White House South Lawn as part of America 250 and President Donald Trump’s birthday, the event was unveiled during the UFC 326 broadcast.
- The announced lineup features two title bouts plus four supporting fights: Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje; Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane; Sean O’Malley vs. Aiemann Zahabi; Mauricio Ruffy vs. Michael Chandler; Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus; Diego Lopes vs. Steve Garcia.
- Dana White said a planned fight “literally just fell out” hours before the reveal, and he has suggested another bout could still be added.
- Tom Aspinall’s eye injury prompted the interim heavyweight booking, Pereira vacated the light heavyweight belt to move up, and White indicated the interim winner is positioned to face Aspinall when he returns.
- Conor McGregor and Jon Jones are not on the card; reports from Ariel Helwani attribute Jones’ absence to an eight‑figure asking price, which has not been confirmed by the UFC.
