With “UFC Freedom 250” just two days away, the event’s official pre-fight press conference is scheduled to go down tonight at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Not to be outdone by the anticipated return of Conor McGregor for a rematch with Max Holloway next month to cap off UFC 329 and this year’s International Fight Week, the UFC is set to put on a seven-fight card at The White House this Sunday.

The event is topped by two championship bouts, with Ilia Topuria set to meet Justin Gaethje in a lightweight title unification bout after Alex Pereira attempts to become a three-division champion when he and Ciryl Gane square off for the interim heavyweight strap in the co-main event.

Originally announced as a six-fight card, “UFC Freedom 250” also added a heavyweight matchup between Derrick Lewis and Josh Hokit immediately following the latter fighter’s win over Curtis Blaydes at UFC at UFC 327.

Outside of the two title bouts, arguably the most significant fight on the card is the bantamweight matchup between former titleholder Sean O’Malley and Aiemann Zahabi. O’Malley secured his first win since his reign with the bantamweight belt earlier this year when he defeated Song Yadong, while Zahabi is currently riding the momentum of seven-straight wins.
