The
Ultimate Fighting Championship’s White House card will have
crypto bonuses to add to its charm.
Billed as “UFC
White House: Freedom 250,” a one-of-a-kind event on June 14
that coincides with President Donald J. Trump’s 80th birthday and
the United States’ 250th year of independence.

Sean
O’Malley (19-3) recently chimed in on news that there will be a
million-dollar crypto bonus for the card.
“I need to get a beautiful knockout, and there’s a million-dollar
Crypto bonus supposedly,” O’Malley told TMZ Sports. “I would love
to get that.”
The UFC increased bonuses from $50K to $100K starting with the
Paramount+ partnership in 2026. It remains unclear if the usual
$100K bonuses will still be in place, along with the crypto bonus
at the White House.
Ilia
Topuria will look to defend his lightweight title against
interim champion Justin
Gaethje in the main event. Meanwhile, Alex
Pereira and Ciryl Gane
will clash for the interim heavyweight title in the co-headliner.
O’Malley will fight Aiemann
Zahabi in a bantamweight tilt.
UFC boss Dana White had promised that the White House card would be
the greatest UFC card of all time. Despite having big names like
Topuria, Pereira, O’Malley, Diego Lopes
and others, the matchups have mostly failed to live up to fans’
lofty expectations.
