UFC announces card for White House event

There will be two championship bouts on the card.

Ilia Topuria will go up against Justin Gaethje for the UFC World Lightweight Championship and Alex Pereira will take on Ciryl Gane for the interim UFC Heavyweight Championship.

Elsewhere on the card, Sean O'Malley will take on Aiemann Zahabi, Michael Chandler will square off against Mauricio Ruffy, Kyle Daukaus will battle against Bo Nickal and Steve Garcia will go up against Diego Lopes.

"Listen, if you look back throughout history, I think [former President] George Bush was a big baseball fan, [former President Barack] Obama was an NBA fan and Trump is a UFC fan. I don't think that any of those guys being fans made any sport too political."

"We're going to take over Washington, D.C., the week of the fight," White said.
