Dana White announces UFC White House event fight card

UFC president Dana White officially announced the fight card for a unique tournament during UFC 326. The event will take place on June 14 on the lawn of the White House in Washington.

The main event of the evening will be a UFC lightweight title fight, where reigning champion Ilia Topuria will defend his belt against one of the division’s most exciting fighters, Justin Gaethje.

The event will also feature a historic bout for Alex Pereira. The Brazilian will make his heavyweight debut and immediately compete for the interim UFC title against former title challenger Ciryl Gane. Pereira previously vacated the light heavyweight championship in an attempt to capture a title in a third weight division.

The remaining fights on the card will be non-title bouts. A total of six fights are scheduled.
