The UFC has unveiled the entire slate of fights set for its monumental event at the White House later this year.
Lightweight champion Ilia Topuria will defend his title against interim champ Justin Gaethje in the June 14 main event, the promotion announced Saturday.
In the co-main event, Alex Pereira will face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight championship.
Here's a look at the full card.
- Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje
- Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane
- Sean O'Malley vs. Aiemann Zahabi
- Mauricio Ruffy vs. Michael Chandler
- Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus
- Diego Lopes vs. Steve Garcia
Topuria will return to the Octagon for the first time in 12 months after taking a hiatus due to personal issues. A former featherweight champion, Topuria knocked out Charles Oliveira in the first round at UFC 317 last June to win the vacant lightweight title and become a two-division champ. The 29-year-old Georgian-Spaniard is undefeated as a professional, boasting a 17-0 record with 15 finishes.
Gaethje captured the interim 155-pound title with a unanimous decision win over Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324 in January. The 37-year-old is riding a two-fight winning streak and hasn't lost since falling to Max Holloway in a historic last-second knockout at UFC 300 in April 2024.
The UFC booked Pereira-Gane for the interim heavyweight title on account of champion Tom Aspinall being sidelined for the foreseeable future due to an eye injury.
Pereira is vacating the light heavyweight title and moving up to the heavyweight division to challenge for a belt in a third weight class; the 38-year-old Brazilian is also a former middleweight champion. He's coming off a knockout win over Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320 in October and is 6-1 in his past seven Octagon appearances.
Gane, a former interim heavyweight champion, fought Aspinall for the undisputed belt at UFC 321 in October, but the matchup was ruled a no-contest after Gane poked Aspinall in both eyes during the first round. Gane, a 35-year-old Frenchman, is riding a three-fight unbeaten streak. He hasn't lost since facing Jon Jones in a vacant heavyweight title bout in March 2023.
