UFC White House weigh-in results: 2 title fights set

All fighters on the UFC White House card successfully made weight on Saturday, clearing the way for the historic event's seven bouts to proceed as scheduled on Sunday at the White House lawn.

UFC White House weigh-in results:

Headlining the card is a lightweight title unification bout between undefeated Ilia Topuria (17-0) and interim champion Justin Gaethje (27-5). The Spanish fighter, just 29 years old, has dominated the featherweight and lightweight divisions since his 2020 UFC debut, stringing together consecutive knockout victories over Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway, and Charles Oliveira. Gaethje, 37, earned his interim belt by defeating Paddy Pimblett earlier in 2026 and views this as realistically his final opportunity to claim undisputed UFC gold.

In the co-main event, Alex Pereira (13-3) moves up to heavyweight for an interim title fight against Ciryl Gane (13-2). Pereira, a former middleweight and light heavyweight champion, aims to become a three-division champion, while Gane seeks interim titleholder status for the second time. The Brazilian weighed 251 pounds for his heavyweight debut, while Gane came in at 248 pounds.

Diego Lopes successfully made weight a second time at 146 pounds as a backup for the lightweight title bout if needed. The card broadcasts live on Paramount+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday.
