UFC Freedom 250 made history as the first professional sporting event held at the White House, delivering a night of action featuring seven stoppage victories and two title fights.
In the main event, Justin Gaethje captured the lightweight championship after inflicting heavy damage on previously unbeaten Ilia Topuria, prompting the champion’s corner to stop the contest after four rounds.
Earlier, Cyril Gane denied Alex Pereira’s attempt to become a three-division champion, while Josh Hokit continued his rise by defeating the UFC’s most prolific knockout artist.
Sean O’Malley also returned to winning form with a walk-off knockout victory over Aiemann Zahabi, capping off a card that proceeded without the forecast thunderstorms.
