The Spaniard faces Justin Gaethje in the main event, scheduled for June 14th, in a title fight for the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg). Even though he's fighting as a visitor on the card celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States' independence, the fighter doesn't want to go unnoticed by the president, who will be in the front row.

In an interview with 'El Partidazo Cope', Topuria issued a direct warning to the US official. The champion indicated that the fight could be resolved quickly and suggested that any distraction could mean losing the decisive moment of the fight.
