The octagon of the most important mixed martial arts company will have an unprecedented setting in its history with the holding of the UFC Casa Blanca event.

The main card will be played this Sunday, June 14, on the gardens of the US presidential residence, in the city of Washington, D.C.

This championship event, formally called UFC Freedom 250, coincides with activities for Donald Trump's 80th birthday. The company's management designed a sports program with multiple world belts at stake, which has generated a high demand for attention from international fans.

Unification of belts in light weight

The stellar battle of the night will feature the unification of the absolute 155-pound championship between the official monarch, Ilia Topuria, and the owner of the interim belt, Justin Gaethje.

The fighter of European origin returns to official action after resolving contract differences that kept him inactive in the discipline's commercial circuit.

The American challenger obtained this opportunity to compete for the crown after defeating the fighter Paddy Pimblett via cards in the previous months of the competition calendar.

Gaethje will seek to establish himself for the first time as the absolute champion of the category, a goal he has tried to achieve on previous occasions in his professional career.

“I am prepared to take all the necessary risks and this fight represents my last opportunity to be the absolute champion,” Justin Gaethje declared to the specialized journalist of the official UFC Brazil signal, Evelyn Rodrigues, about the technical approach with which he will approach the main event.

For his part, the official champion guaranteed that his tactical plan will seek to define the confrontation on a fast track before the conclusion of the regulation rounds. Topuria argued on Daniel Cormier's podcast that his physical preparation focused on neutralizing the American's attacking volume to consolidate his undisputed reign.

The heavyweight on the co-main card

The UFC Casa Blanca card will also feature a heavyweight clash where the interim championship of the heavyweight division will be contested. Brazilian fighter Alex Pereira will seek to become the organization's first athlete to hold championships in three different weight divisions.

His opponent in the octagon will be the Frenchman Ciryl Gane, who returns to the dispute for the absolute title due to the temporary absence of regular champion Tom Aspinall. The projections of sector analysts place this confrontation in a technical status similar to that of the stellar combat of the evening at the White House.

Broadcast channels in America and Europe

For the Latin American and United States markets, the live broadcast of the UFC Casa Blanca event will be available exclusively through the Paramount streaming platform. Users must have an active subscription to the digital service to access the international signal.

For its part, the coverage of the mixed martial arts event for the territory of Spain will be broadcast through the HBO Max subscription service. The broadcast of the preliminary fights will begin in advance on the company's official broadcast channels.
