The UFC is taking over the White House, and somehow the fight card is just as wild as the venue.
UFC Freedom 250 takes place on the South Lawn in Washington, D.C., with seven fights, two title bouts, and enough knockout danger to make every odds board sweat.
Ilia Topuria defends his lightweight title against Justin Gaethje in the main event, while Alex Pereira moves up to heavyweight to face Ciryl Gane for the interim belt.
Big stage. Big names. Big pressure.
Let’s break down the full UFC Freedom 250 odds and predictions using BC.Game lines only.
UFC Freedom 250 Odds
| Fight | BC.Game Odds |
|---|---|
| Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje | Topuria 1.17 / Gaethje 4.55 |
| Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane | Pereira 1.87 / Gane 1.87 |
| Sean O’Malley vs Aiemann Zahabi | O’Malley 1.23 / Zahabi 3.85 |
| Mauricio Ruffy vs Michael Chandler | Ruffy 1.14 / Chandler 5.10 |

Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje Prediction
Ilia Topuria is priced like a monster favourite at 1.17 with BC.Game, and honestly, it is hard to argue too much.
Topuria is unbeaten, sharp, powerful, and terrifyingly calm under pressure. He has already smashed through elite names, and his blend of boxing precision, takedown defence, and finishing instinct makes him a brutal matchup for Gaethje.
Gaethje at 4.55 is tempting because chaos follows that man everywhere.
But chaos also gets him hit.
Against Topuria, that is a dangerous game. Gaethje absorbs too much damage, and Topuria does not need many clean openings to turn the lights out.
Prediction: Ilia Topuria to win by KO/TKO.
Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane Prediction
This is the most fascinating line on the card.
BC.Game has Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane both at 1.87, making it a true pick’em fight.
Gane has the size, movement, and heavyweight experience. He can glide around the cage, pick shots, and make bigger men look clumsy.
But Pereira is different.
He does not need volume. He does not need long combinations. He only needs one clean left hand, one calf kick that changes the rhythm, or one moment where Gane gets too comfortable.
Pereira has also shown repeatedly that the bigger the stage gets, the colder he becomes.
Prediction: Alex Pereira to win.
Sean O’Malley vs Aiemann Zahabi Prediction
Sean O’Malley is a heavy favourite at 1.23 with BC.Game, while Aiemann Zahabi sits at 3.85.
O’Malley has the reach, speed, creativity, and star power. If he keeps this fight at range, Zahabi could spend three rounds chasing shadows and eating straight shots.
Zahabi is tough, smart, and awkward enough to make this uncomfortable, but he may struggle to close distance consistently without walking into counters.
This looks like a matchup built for O’Malley to look sharp again.
Prediction: Sean O’Malley to win by decision.
Josh Hokit vs Derrick Lewis Prediction
Josh Hokit is 1.24 with BC.Game, while Derrick Lewis is 3.75.
Lewis will always have that nuclear option. One mistake, one lazy entry, one chin left hanging in the air, and the Black Beast can still end anyone’s night.
That said, Hokit is younger, fresher, and likely to bring more wrestling pressure and pace.
If he avoids the early bomb, he should be able to control the fight and drag Lewis into uncomfortable positions.
Prediction: Josh Hokit to win.
Mauricio Ruffy vs Michael Chandler Prediction
Mauricio Ruffy is the shortest favourite on the card at 1.14 with BC.Game. Michael Chandler is a huge underdog at 5.10.
Chandler is still dangerous. He is explosive, experienced, and absolutely fearless.
Unfortunately, fearless is not always good.
Ruffy is younger, sharper, longer, and far more composed in striking exchanges. Chandler’s habit of turning fights into bar fights could give him a puncher’s chance, but it could also walk him straight into the worst possible fire.
Prediction: Mauricio Ruffy to win by KO/TKO.
Bo Nickal vs Kyle Daukaus Prediction
Bo Nickal is 1.30 with BC.Game, while Kyle Daukaus is 3.30.
Nickal remains one of the best pure wrestlers in the UFC, but the key question is always the same: will he actually use it?
If Nickal gets drawn into a striking contest for too long, Daukaus has enough skill to make things awkward. But if Nickal fights smart, shoots early, and forces grappling exchanges, the path is obvious.
This should be his fight to lose.
Prediction: Bo Nickal to win by submission.
Diego Lopes vs Steve Garcia Prediction
Diego Lopes is 1.57 with BC.Game, while Steve Garcia is 2.30.
This might be the sneakiest action fight on the whole card.
Lopes has fought elite competition and brings a dangerous mix of pressure, grappling, and striking creativity. Garcia, though, is no passenger. He has power, momentum, and enough physicality to punish Lopes if the Brazilian gets reckless.
Still, Lopes has the more complete game and the better experience against top-tier opposition.
Prediction: Diego Lopes to win.

UFC Freedom 250 Multi Bet Idea
For a safer-looking multi, Topuria, O’Malley, Ruffy, Nickal, and Lopes all make sense as strong favourites or near-favourites.
For a riskier ticket, adding Pereira at 1.87 gives the bet much more juice without reaching too far into chaos territory.
But remember, this card is built for violence. Heavyweights, elite finishers, aging legends, and title-fight pressure can break clean predictions very quickly.
Final Verdict
UFC Freedom 250 feels like a card designed for fireworks.
Topuria looks ready to continue his terrifying run, Pereira has a real shot at heavyweight history, and Ruffy could use Chandler as a launchpad into the lightweight elite.
The odds at BC.Game show clear confidence in favourites like Topuria, O’Malley, Ruffy, Nickal, and Hokit, while Pereira vs Gane stands out as the true coin-flip fight of the night.
Expect chaos. Expect finishes. Expect at least one result that makes everyone look stupid by Monday morning.
That’s the UFC. That’s the White House card.
