“It's very important for me to use my head for position and put my head in his chest, push him backwards, put him in a dog fight,” Gaethje told Grind City Media. “We've seen him getting hit.

UFC on Saturday released renderings of both the setup for the UFC White House and the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest, which will include a number of fight week events as well as a watch party on fight night.

Unfortunately I'm here to tell you that a few days ago, I got hurt on my rib. I did an MRI and it came back today showing that the rib is broken, so I won't be fighting June 27. I was really looking forward to this fight. I moved from Florida to California for this camp. I wanted to get back to my roots, train with Beneil [Dariush], train with Julian for my boxing, train with Chase for my conditioning.

Covington won 10 of his first 11 fights in the UFC, capturing the interim welterweight strap in the process. While he was successful in the Octagon, his polarizing persona in interviews and on social media helped him garner more attention - though not all of it put him in a positive light. Still, Covington received three shots at undisputed 170-pound gold, falling to Kamaru Usman (twice) and most recently, Leon Edwards in December 2023.

Vallejos suffered his lone professional loss against Silva in his first Dana White's Contender Series opportunity in 2023. While Silva quickly rose to stardom in the UFC, Vallejos finally earned his UFC contract in his second Contender Series outing in 2024.

“They are ugly; mine were ugly. I don't like them,” O'Malley said on YouTube. “They're not pink, which is fine, whatever, I've worn other colors... Did they go on Fiverr and say, 'Hey, we got these guys getting to fight at the White House lawn. Can you just come up with something?'”
