First Strike is bringing out the big guns for one of the most unique events in UFC history. Dave Ross and Rob Moreno are joined by former UFC fighter Ricardo Lamas (@RicardoLamasMMA) and the godfather of MMA analytics, Reed Kuhn of Fightnomics (@Fightnomics), to break down UFC Freedom 250 — live from the lawn of the White House this Sunday.

Two title fights headline the card. Ilia Topuria puts the lightweight belt on the line against Justin Gaethje in the main event, and Alex Pereira steps up to heavyweight to battle Ciryl Gane for the interim title in a jaw-dropping co-main. The guys break down both title fights and the full card with model grades, best bets, and everything you need before Sunday's historic event.
