The event took place on the White House’s South Lawn, commemorating 250 years of the United States and coinciding with the 80th birthday of US President Donald Trump. Gaethje, who entered the bout as a significant underdog, secured the undisputed championship on his third attempt after previous title challenges against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira.

In the co-main event, Ciryl Gane delivered another upset by stopping Alex Pereira in the second round to win the interim heavyweight belt, preventing Pereira from becoming the first three-weight champion in UFC history.
