Leading the way at UFC’s anticipated White House card is a main event clash between UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and interim titleholder Justin Gaethje. In addition, former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira will move up to heavyweight and try to win a record-setting third belt when he meets Ciryl Gane for interim UFC heavyweight gold.
The rest of the historic card will be rounded out by former UFC champions, rising stars, and all-around exciting American fighters. This includes rising heavyweight contender Josh Hokit, who squares off with knockout king Derrick Lewis. Hokit, who has many characters at his disposal, actually shut down Friday’s presser with his trash talk towards Topuria and Pereira. At one point, Topuria actually threw his water on Hokit, who was eventually ushered off stage.
