Justin Gaethje Visits White House After Winning UFC Lightweight Title

Justin Gaethje returned to the site of one of the biggest moments of his MMA career on Friday, visiting the White House grounds in Washington, D.C.

Nearly three weeks after stunning Ilia Topuria (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) to win the undisputed lightweight title at UFC Freedom 250, Gaethje (28-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) was invited back to the White House with his family to meet President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet.

Trump first announced the visit on social media, praising Gaethje for his huge upset victory over Topuria and for closing the historic event on a high note for the American side.

Gaethje later shared his own look at the visit on Instagram, posting a photo slideshow that appeared to show his family having lunch with the U.S. president.
