Steve Garcia feels ‘disrespected’ ahead of UFC Freedom 250

Steve Garcia enters UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday feeling undervalued despite an impressive resume of seven UFC knockouts and eight victories. The fighter expressed frustration at lacking mainstream recognition—notably the absence of a trading card—despite competing on the prestigious White House card alongside better-known athletes. Garcia vowed to use the perceived disrespect as fuel, emphasising his knockout power and the dangerous prospect any opponent faces inside the cage against him. His appearance on the card underscores the depth of talent at the event, which headlines with Topuria versus Gaethje for the lightweight unification title and Pereira against Gane for the interim heavyweight championship.
