The biggest stars involved in UFC Freedom 250 visited the White House on Wednesday to meet United States president Donald Trump ahead of the historic event.

Alex Pereira, Ciryl Gane, Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria all attended the gathering while taking pictures and recording promotional material around the famous building in Washington.

Several coaches and managers also accompanied the fighters, including Ali Abdelaziz, who immediately used the occasion to reignite his long-running rivalry with Conor McGregor.

Following the meeting with Trump, who maintains a close friendship with McGregor, Abdelaziz – Khabib Nurmagomedov’s agent – directly targeted the Irishman through a post shared on social media platform X.

“Everyone asked about you today at the White House, we missed you today,” the MMA manager wrote while tagging McGregor shortly after the event concluded.

The message was widely interpreted as an attempt to provoke ‘The Notorious’, as he publicly expressed his desire to appear on the White House card in recent months.

Despite those ambitions, the former two-weight UFC champion failed to secure involvement in the event and is now expected to finally return to MMA competition later this year.

Abdelaziz and McGregor maintained a bitter feud for years, largely because of the manager’s close relationship with the Irishman’s biggest rival, Khabib.
