UFC Stool From White House Card Draws More Than $5,000 in Active Auction

The stool’s link to Ilia Topuria’s retirement has driven strong bidding because the Freedom 250 card drew a very large Paramount+ audience.

Overview

UFC Collectibles listed the red-corner stool used at UFC Freedom 250 for auction on June 16 after the card took place on the White House South Lawn on June 14.
Bidders have placed at least 36 incremental $100 offers and the top bid reported at $4,700 rises to about $5,170 when the buyer’s premium is added.
The listing highlights that seven fighters used the same red stool during the night, including Ilia Topuria, Justin Gaethje, Sean O’Malley and Alex Pereira, which UFC frames as one-of-a-kind provenance.
Interest in the item is tied to the main event’s controversial finish—Topuria’s fourth-round retirement to Gaethje—and ongoing public discussion about a possible rematch and whether the stoppage implied quitting.
The auction shows how the White House staging and the event’s roughly 17 million Paramount+ viewers have increased the commercial and cultural value of even small pieces of memorabilia.
