Add as a preferred source on Google WWE is expected to have representation at one of the most unusual events TKO has ever organized. According to PWInsider, several stars from the company are expected at UFC Freedom 250, which will take place next month at the White House.
The event is scheduled for June 14 on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., with Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje announced as the main event.
WWE’s involvement, though, is not expected to happen as part of the UFC card itself. According to the report, the talent are planned to appear as guests at the Fan Fest, not in any direct role connected to the fights.
The UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest is scheduled for June 13 and 14, also at The Ellipse, with a 3:30 p.m. local start time on both days. The event will also feature special attractions, including a Zac Brown Band concert and appearances by UFC athletes.
That crossover is not exactly surprising. Since TKO was formed, WWE and UFC have operated under the same parent company, which has even integrated their live events teams into a single unit.
As of now, no WWE names have been publicly confirmed for the Fan Fest.
