Overview
- The promotion unveiled a six-fight main card for the South Lawn, headlined by Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje for the undisputed lightweight title and Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight belt.
- The remaining bouts are Sean O’Malley vs. Aiemann Zahabi, Mauricio Ruffy vs. Michael Chandler, Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus, and Diego Lopes vs. Steve Garcia.
- UFC posts indicate the event, part of the America 250 celebrations on Sunday, June 14, will stream on Paramount+.
- White said a planned fight fell through shortly before the reveal, denied Jon Jones was close to being booked, and added talks with Conor McGregor continue without a return date.
- Reaction across MMA circles is split, with criticism over the absence of Jones and McGregor countered by praise for a slate featuring two title fights and Pereira’s move up in pursuit of a third divisional crown; White said the Pereira–Gane winner is on track to face champion Tom Aspinall.
