The celebs of the UFC White House card recently hung out around Donald Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While only a few will get the chance to purchase a ticket for the event at $1.5 million, the fighters headlining the cardboard on June 14 recently got a preview of what they will expect.<\/p>\n

The 4 men competing within the two title fights at the highest of the \u2018Freedom 250\u2019 bill also seemingly came upon what they might be fighting for next month.<\/p>\n

Ilia Topuria, who has already planned his pre-fight celebrations, was unsurprisingly confident that it should be him leaving the White House with the newly unveiled title.<\/p>\n

Recent UFC belt shown off during Donald Trump\u2019s conversation with Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje<\/h2>\n

While Ilia Topuria, Justin Gaethje, Alex Pereira, and Ciryl Gane posed alongside Donald Trump contained in the Oval Office on May 6, a brand new UFC belt was shown off.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t clear whether this recent stars and stripes themed variant that has been created for \u2018Freedom 250\u2019 might be the gold that might be on the road on June 14.<\/p>\n

While some have raised concerns about American representative Gaethje being stopped by Topuria in the ultimate fight of an evening that is supposed to have a good time the nation\u2019s birthday, that didn\u2019t stop \u2018El Matador\u2019 from modelling the newly designed belt.<\/p>\n

In a clip from this meeting (reposted by ChampRDS on X<\/a>), Topuria admitted that he didn\u2019t expect the president to be so kind before asking him, \u201cWhy did you need to give the hardest test to a friend of yours?\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaethje responded by stating, \u201cBecause he knows that\u2019s what I would like,\u201d before Trump asked the all the time supremely confident lightweight champion what his possibilities of winning are.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do know him, very tough opponent. Me? I actually have complete faith. 100%, and I hope he has the identical faith. That\u2019s going to make an incredible fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Topuria received a handshake from Trump during his answer, while Gaethje stood over the president\u2019s opposite shoulder.<\/p>\n
