All four fighters in Sunday's two UFC title bouts made weight without issue Friday, setting up a historic card on the lawn of the White House.
According to Yahoo Sports, the main event is a lightweight title unification fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. The co-main event is an interim heavyweight championship bout between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane. All seven fights on the card are officially set after no fighter on the entire card had a problem on the scale. Diego Lopes also came back a second time to make the 154-pound lightweight championship weight, qualifying him as a replacement for the headliner if needed.
Topuria enters the fight undefeated at 17-0. The 29-year-old Spanish fighter, known as "El Matador," has fought in the UFC since 2020 and has moved through both the featherweight and lightweight divisions. His most recent victories came by knockout over Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway, and Charles Oliveira. He weighed in at exactly 155 pounds for his first bout of 2026.
Gaethje comes in as the underdog at 27-5. The American holds the interim lightweight title, which he earned earlier this year by defeating Paddy Pimblett over five rounds while Topuria was sidelined. Known as "The Highlight," Gaethje has won four of his last five fights. His only loss in that stretch came in a last-second knockout by Max Holloway in their BMF title fight. At 37 years old, Gaethje also weighed in at exactly 155 pounds.
The co-main event features Pereira moving up two weight classes to compete for an interim heavyweight title. The Brazilian, a former middleweight and light heavyweight champion, is attempting to claim a UFC title in a third division. He weighed 251 pounds. His opponent, Gane, comes in at 248 pounds. Gane holds an interim title opportunity after champion Tom Aspinall was injured by illegal eye pokes from Gane in a previous bout. Gane's record stands at 13-2, while Pereira is 13-3.
The full weigh-in results from UFC White House are as follows: Ilia Topuria at 155 pounds versus Justin Gaethje at 155 pounds; Alex Pereira at 251 pounds versus Ciryl Gane at 248 pounds; Sean O'Malley at 135.5 pounds versus Aiemann Zahabi at 135 pounds; Josh Hokit at 231 pounds versus Derrick Lewis at 265 pounds; Mauricio Ruffy at 155 pounds versus Michael Chandler at 156 pounds; Bo Nickal at 186 pounds versus Kyle Daukaus at 186 pounds; and Diego Lopes at 146 pounds versus Steve Garcia at 146 pounds.
