TKO presenting UFC Freedom 250 live tonight from The White House

One of the most important nights in TKO’s short history will take place today as the UFC heads to The White House for UFC Freedom 250, an event taking place on The White House South Lawn with President Donald Trump and many of his administration in attendance.

The highly-anticipated event will feature the undefeated Ilia Topuria vs Justin Caethje for the UFC Lightweight title in the main event and Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane for the UFC Heavyweight title in the co-main event.

There will be around 4,500 people on the South Lawn under the “claw” structure which was built specifically for this event. Up to 80,000 fans will be witnessing the show from The Ellipse where large screens have been installed.

Over 1,000 active military members will be part of that 4,500 audience on the South Lawn.

TKO President Mark Shapiro has estimated that this event will cost TKO around $60 million and may recover half of it through donations and sponsors. No tickets were sold for the event.

The main card will kick off at 8PM ET and will stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States. For other countries, check out UFC.COM for the full line up of broadcasters.
