What was set to be an unprecedented UFC fight on the White House South Lawn is now off the table. Islam Makhachev refutes any injury claims made by Dana White, while Ilia Topuria’s reported $20 million purse demand has left fans astonished, ending hopes for a long-awaited superfight.

Israel Adesanya was once interested in competing at the UFC White House event—Freedom Fights 250—on June 14. Now, he is focused on UFC Seattle, leaving a star-studded Lightweight unification bout between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje to headline the high-profile card.
