The UFC has released the first official images of the special “Freedom 250” fight kits, created in anticipation of the upcoming event at the White House. These unique fight gears are set to be worn just weeks before the June 14th event, which will take place on the South Lawn. Fans eager to get their hands on this patriotic merchandise can now find it available for purchase online.
The concept for a UFC event at the White House was initially proposed by President Donald Trump during a rally in Iowa last July. His vision was to host a full UFC card, accommodating 20,000 to 25,000 spectators, on the grounds of the White House to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary. UFC CEO Dana White subsequently confirmed the event following discussions with the Trump administration. Coincidentally, the event also coincides with President Trump’s 80th birthday.
These commemorative fight kits have been crafted by Venum, featuring a prominent red, white, and blue color scheme. A special White House emblem is prominently displayed on the gear, alongside an exclusive “USA 250” patch. This unique patch is a collaborative effort involving Fanatics, the White House, and America 250. The fight kits are available for purchase on ufcstore.com, venum.com, and fanatics.com. For those in Washington D.C., opportunities to acquire the kits include the press conference at the Lincoln Memorial on June 12th, at The Ellipse Park on June 13th and 14th, and a temporary pop-up store located at 1099 14th St NW, operating from June 11th to June 14th.
The main event will feature Ilia Topuria defending his lightweight title against interim champion Justin Gaethje. In the co-main event, Alex Pereira will face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight championship. The undercard is equally exciting, with bouts scheduled between Sean O’Malley and Aiemann Zahabi in the bantamweight division, Mauricio Ruffy and Michael Chandler in the lightweight division, Bo Nickal and Kyle Daukaus in the middleweight division, and Diego Lopes facing Steve Garcia in the featherweight division.
The event will showcase a total of 14 fighters, as revealed during the initial press conference. Winners of the fights will receive a custom-designed belt, featuring an American flag motif and the Roman numerals “1776.”
