Read on for the full UFC Freedom 250 card, our breakdown of the biggest fights, and the betting markets we've got open at Parimatch.
The numbers tell the story. Total event cost north of $60 million. Temporary outdoor arena built on the South Lawn for 4,300 seats, most reserved for US military personnel. Public viewing tickets at The Ellipse for 85,000 fans, all claimed within 48 hours of registration opening. Weigh-ins held at the Lincoln Memorial. Cinematic production all the way through.
Event date is Sunday 14 June 2026. The main card starts in the early hours of Monday 15 June UK time. Most coverage running from around 1:00 BST.
The name comes from two things. The 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. And the 80th birthday of President Donald Trump, both falling on the same day. UFC and the White House have folded both into the official event branding.
Seven main card fights confirmed. Two title fights on the line. Three undefeated fighters competing on the same night. Three current or former champions in action. The biggest UFC story of 2026 by some distance, and we're ready for all of it at Parimatch.
Here's the full UFC Freedom 250 main card, with prelims still being announced closer to fight night.
This is the fight we've been waiting for. Ilia Topuria walks in 17-0 as a professional. Undisputed lightweight champion. Arguably the most dangerous finisher in the entire sport. He stopped Charles Oliveira inside three minutes at UFC 317 to claim the lightweight title, after previously finishing both Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway at featherweight. The first fighter in UFC history to hold belts in two weight classes while staying undefeated.
Justin Gaethje arrives as interim lightweight champion. 27-5 overall. 20 wins by knockout. The CV reads like a UFC highlight reel: Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dustin Poirier (twice), Charles Oliveira, Max Holloway. The Poirier rematch in 2024 was a Fight of the Year contender. The Holloway fight produced one of the most dramatic finishes the division has ever seen.
Topuria is our heavy favourite for the fight. Gaethje is the live underdog. The kind of underdog where one clean exchange can change the entire complexion of the fight. Between them, 35 career knockouts. We've got every market open at Parimatch, and the fight-to-go-the-distance numbers are looking interesting on this one.
The interim heavyweight title on the line in the co-main. Alex Pereira moves up to a third weight class. The Brazilian (13-3) has vacated his light heavyweight title to take this fight, having previously held the middleweight belt before that. Pereira is chasing a third UFC division belt, something only one other fighter has ever done.
Ciryl Gane (13-2-1 NC) returns to the interim heavyweight title picture after a no-contest with current undisputed champion Tom Aspinall back in October 2025. The Frenchman has previously lost interim title fights to both Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones. The winner here is expected to face Aspinall once the British champion recovers from his recent eye surgery.
Markets opened with the fight close to even odds, which makes this one of the most interesting value plays on the entire card. Pereira's power transfers from any weight class. Gane's footwork and kicking game has always troubled heavier opponents.
The bantamweight featured bout has its own subplot. Sean O'Malley enters off back-to-back losses to former champion Merab Dvalishvili. He's looking to rebuild momentum at the top of the 135-pound division. Aiemann Zahabi, born in Montreal and fighting out of Tristar Gym under his older brother Firas, brings a five-fight win streak and his number-six bantamweight ranking into the biggest night of his career.
Zahabi recently beat former bantamweight title challenger Marlon Vera in October 2025. Before that he beat former featherweight champion José Aldo at UFC 315 in Montreal in May 2025. The matchup on paper favours his pressure style. Markets opened with O'Malley as a tighter favourite than his profile alone would have suggested, which usually says the books are taking Zahabi's recent form seriously.
