President Donald Trump is set to host a major UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House, featuring a highly anticipated match between UFC Lightweight Champion Ilia Topuria and Interim Champion Justin Gaethje. The two fighters have been trading insults in the lead-up to the event, with Gaethje targeting Topuria’s recent divorce. Topuria fired back, defending his ex-wife and calling for respect.

Personal Attacks Escalate

Gaethje’s comments about Topuria’s divorce did not sit well with the champion, who responded by saying that his personal life is off-limits. The exchange escalated, with both fighters making personal attacks on each other. Topuria brought up Gaethje’s father, who had previously made comments about the upcoming fight.

The feud between the two fighters has added an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming event, which is set to take place on June 14. The match will be part of the UFC Freedom 250 card, marking the first time a major MMA pay-per-view event will be held at the White House.
