A landmark UFC event is set for the White House lawn, but legal challenges loom.
UFC Freedom 250 is scheduled for June 14, 2025, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC. The main card kicks off at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
The event features Ilia Topuria defending his UFC Lightweight Championship against Justin Gaethje in a five-round main event.
However, the event faces uncertainty. A lawsuit is pending against the National Park Service and the U.S. Department of the Interior seeking to stop the event. As of publication, the event is proceeding as scheduled.
