The entire UFC Freedom 250 fight card will convene at a massive press conference on Friday.
All 14 fighters scheduled to compete on the June 14 card at the White House in Washington, D.C., will gather on-stage to answer questions then participate in faceoffs ahead of the highly anticipated spectacle this summer.
That includes headliners Ilia Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) and Justin Gaethje (27-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC), who meet in a lightweight championship unification contest. Also the co-main event, which will see former middleweight and light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira (13-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) move up to the heavyweight division to clash with Ciryl Gane (13-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in an interim title contest.
Five other notables matchups will fill out the remainder of the card, and all the athletes will get an opportunity to share words about competing at the event, their opponents and more.
The press conference takes place at Prudential Center at 5 p.m. ET prior to UFC 328 ceremonial weigh-ins.
