Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje

Ilia Topuria is the current lightweight champion, and he is going to defend his title against interim lightweight champion and one of the most violent fighters in UFC history, Justin Gaethje.

Some people thought that it was going to be Ilia Topuria vs Islam Makhachev is going to happen but Islam moved up to welterweight, so this is not happening.

But Justin Gaethje beat Paddy Pimblett and became the interim lightweight champion, and now it is time to decide who is the lightweight king.

People thought that Ilia Topuria was the best boxer in the UFC and would easily beat Justin Gaethje, but Justin Gaethje has all the tools to knock out and beat the opponent so badly, as he did in his last fight against Paddy Pimblett.

Yes, the chances of winning the fight are big for Ilia Topuria, but this is MMA, and Justin’s striking is brutal; anything can happen in this main event of UFC Freedom 250.

Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane

Another top-class matchup is going to happen as the co-main event of UFC Freedom 250, as Alex Pereira is going to fight against Ciryl Gane for the heavyweight title.

Alex moved up to the heavyweight division after leaving the light heavyweight title. Alex Pereira is a former middleweight and light heavyweight champion, and now he is about to create history if he wins the heavyweight title.

Alex Pereira will be the first UFC fighter to win three titles if he beats Ciryl Gane in this co-main event of the UFC White House event.

But Cyril Gane is not an easy opponent, as he fought against Tom Aspinall for the heavyweight title, but because of the eye poke, Tom Aspinall couldn’t continue, so the UFC decided to make the UFC heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira vs Ciryl gane.

Sean O’Malley vs Aiemann Zahabi

This bantamweight bout is also very interesting as both fighters are in talks. After Sean O’Malley was beaten twice by Merab Dvalishvili and secured a win over Song Yadong, he is back in form.

His opponent, Aiemann Zahabi, is also in the title picture after beating Morlon Vera and Jose Aldo. But both of his wins are by decision, so he needs a dominating win and to finish his opponent to prove himself.

So this fight is to prove themselves for both the fighters.

Derrick Lewis vs Josh Hokit

This heavyweight bout is one of the most weighted fight for this event because of the fighters’ aura. Both fighters have huge fan bases because of their entertaining and controversial nature.

Even in the UFC Freedom 250 press conference, Josh Hokit took charge over Alex Pereira and Ilia Topuria and engaged in the trash talk with both of them.

On the other side, Derick Lewis is also a fun talker; when he talks, he uses jokes in his conversation, so the audience likes him so much.

So this fight is going to be aura vs aura. One fighter has to lose his aura in the fight.

Mauricio Ruffy vs Michael Chandler

Mauricio Ruffy vs Michael Chandler is a lightweight bout. Mauricio Ruffy is the only fighter in this event from the team fighting nerds.

On the other side, Michael Chandler is running on a big losing streak. Michael is a tough fighter but unable to convert his efforts into wins. UFC has good faith in Michael Chandler, so UFC gave Michael Chandler chances to prove that he can win.

On the other side, Mauricio Ruffy wants to see himself in the title picture, so if he wins this fight, he will surely come very close to getting the title shot.

Bo Nickal vs Kyle Daukaus

This is a middleweight bout on the UFC Freedom 250 card. Bo Nickal is one of the highly hyped fighters who claims that his wrestling is better than Khamzat Chimaev’s and also better than Dagestani fighters wrestling.

When Bo Nickal lost against Reinier de Ridder, all fans started trolling him and said that he is just hype, nothing else, but his recent win against Rodolfo Vieira proves that he is not hype; he is a special talent.

On the other side, Kyle Daukaus also got some good wins; one of his win come agaisnt Michl Pereira make him popular. So this fight will push the winner into the middleweight division.

Diego Lopes vs Steve Garcia

There are some fighters that the UFC loves and wants to push more than the other fighters, and Diego Lopes is one of them. UFC gave him two back-to-back featherweight title shots, but he lost both times.

But on the other side, Steve Garcia is currently running a 6-fight win streak and silently coming as one of the title contenders. If Steve wins this fight, then it might be the ticket for the title for him.

If Diego loses here, then it will be shut down for him from the title picture. So this fight is crucial for both of them and can decide their future.
