VS
-180+155
Justin Gaethje
27-5 · 🇺🇸 USA

62%Win Probability38%

Topuria is undefeated and carries one-shot power in both hands, but Gaethje represents the toughest volume test of his career. The challenger walks forward and trades leg kicks at a rate few lightweights tolerate. Topuria's path to victory is a clean counter inside the first three rounds; Gaethje's is accumulated damage and a deep-water fight he has won before against pure technicians.

Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane — UFC White House

Alex Pereira

+120-140
Ciryl Gane
13-2 (1 NC) · 🇫🇷 France
6'4" · 81" reach · 36 yrs
46%Win Probability54%

Pereira moves up after a successful run as light-heavyweight king and meets a heavyweight built to neutralize power punchers. Gane's lateral movement and jab make him a difficult target, but he has struggled when forced to retreat in straight lines. Pereira needs to cut the cage and land the left hook he uses to end fights; Gane wins by keeping range and outscoring on the front foot.

Fight 5Bantamweight · 3 × 5 · ~10:00 PM ET

Sean O'Malley vs Aiemann Zahabi — UFC White House

Sean O'Malley
19-3 (1 NC) · 🇺🇸 USA

VS
-260+210
Aiemann Zahabi
14-2 · 🇨🇦 Canada
5'7" · 69" reach · 38 yrs
70%Win Probability30%

O'Malley returns to the division he ruled and meets a measured counter striker on a quiet five-fight win streak. The reach gap is significant and O'Malley's footwork rewards opponents who chase. Zahabi's best chance is timing the entry kick and forcing exchanges in the pocket, where he has historically been sharper than expected on the scorecards.

Fight 4Heavyweight · 3 × 5 · ~9:30 PM ET

Derrick Lewis vs Josh Hokit — UFC White House

Derrick Lewis
29-13 (1 NC) · 🇺🇸 USA
6'3" · 79" reach · 41 yrs
VS
+165-190
Josh Hokit
9-0 · 🇺🇸 USA
6'2" · 77" reach · 30 yrs
40%Win Probability60%

Lewis remains a knockout threat at any moment and Hokit is the kind of forward-pressure wrestler who tends to give the veteran openings. The undefeated prospect will need to mix levels rather than commit to single takedowns. If the fight stays standing past the second round, Lewis's gas tank becomes the deciding factor and the older fighter has wilted in similar matchups.

Fight 3Lightweight · 3 × 5 · ~9:00 PM ET

Mauricio Ruffy vs Michael Chandler — UFC White House

Mauricio Ruffy
13-2 · 🇧🇷 Brazil
5'10" · 73" reach · 29 yrs
VS
-150+130
Michael Chandler
23-10 · 🇺🇸 USA
5'8" · 71" reach · 40 yrs
58%Win Probability42%

Ruffy enters with the longer reach and the more diverse kicking arsenal; Chandler enters with one of the deepest experience books on the card. Chandler must close distance with combinations rather than naked shots, as Ruffy has shown a sharp counter knee. The veteran's path is the round-one explosion he is known for; the prospect's is patient distance management into the third.

Fight 2Middleweight · 3 × 5 · ~8:30 PM ET

Bo Nickal vs Kyle Daukaus — UFC White House

Bo Nickal
8-1 · 🇺🇸 USA
6'1" · 75" reach · 30 yrs
VS
-340+270
Kyle Daukaus
17-4 (1 NC) · 🇺🇸 USA
6'2" · 76" reach · 32 yrs
76%Win Probability24%

Nickal returns from his first professional loss against a high-level grappler willing to engage on the ground. Daukaus offers a credible chain-wrestling style and active guard, which makes this a real test rather than a showcase. Nickal's path is establishing top control and isolating limbs; Daukaus needs to reverse position early and force the prospect into uncomfortable scrambles.

Fight 1Featherweight · 3 × 5 · ~8:00 PM ET

Diego Lopes vs Steve Garcia — UFC White House

Diego Lopes
27-8 · 🇧🇷 Brazil / Mexico
5'8" · 73" reach · 31 yrs
VS
-220+180
Steve Garcia
19-5 · 🇺🇸 USA
5'8" · 70" reach · 33 yrs
67%Win Probability33%

Lopes opens the main card against a finisher riding a long win streak. Garcia carries genuine knockout power in his left hand and starts fast, but his takedown defense in extended exchanges remains the open question. Lopes is comfortable being hit and tends to win the longer the fight goes, especially if he can drag exchanges to the canvas.
