Fifteen of the fourteen fighters for the main event at UFC White House stood face to face Friday during the first press conference for the event. The UFC White House event is just five weeks away, and all participants are already in full combat readiness.

UFC held its first press conference for the main event on Friday, just before the ceremonial weigh-in for UFC 328. Titled UFC Freedom 250, the event is expected to be one of the largest in the organization's history. To mark the occasion, the promoters brought together all 14 fighters from the event's card for the press conference, with 12 of them facing off at the end of the event.

Earlier in the week, the participants in the main and preliminary bouts faced each other for the first time on the field in front of the White House. On Friday, four of them did so again after the press conference. Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje demonstrated goodwill, while Alex Pereira and Cyril Gane maintained a respectful distance during their eye contact.

The other fighters on the UFC White House card also had to face each other, but the plans were slightly altered. Hikit was expelled during the event after nearly engaging in a physical confrontation with Topuria. As a result, he and Derrick Lewis did not face each other. The remaining eight fighters on the card, however, did so without any issues.

The main event UFC White House will take place on June 14 on the field in front of the White House.
