UFC lightweight champion Ilya Topuria (29, Spain) announced her return to the Octagon after ending the privacy controversy surrounding her. The possibility of an integrated title match with Justin Gaic (37, USA), who recently became the provisional champion, will be held at the White House in June.

Spanish media "Marca" reported on the 6th (Korea time) that Topuria has solved her personal problems and is preparing to return. "We are targeting the White House competition on June 14 as the date of her next return."

Marka, known as a leading Spanish newspaper, announced that the legal dispute between Topuria and his ex-wife Giorina Uscategi had concluded with an agreement.

Topuria declared a suspension in the first quarter of 2026, citing privacy concerns, in November last year. At the time, Topuria fought a truth battle with Uskategi, a former lover and mother of her second child, over allegations of domestic violence and intimidation. Although Uskategi insisted on violence, Topuria strongly refuted the claim, saying, "I was threatened to spread false information if I did not comply with financial demands."

The court in charge of the case closed the case as Uskategi dropped the case and the two sides signed the agreement. Topuria, who shook off judicial risks, recently posted a training video on her personal social networking service (SNS) to formalize her early return with the phrase "Champion is back."

The first to react to the news of Topuria's return was the provisional champion Gaichi. Gaichi, dubbed the "human highlight," won the match of all judges after an overwhelming batting battle against Paddy Pimblett (31, England) in the main UFC 324 event on the 25th of last month. Gaic, who won his second career provisional championship belt after 2020, strongly demanded a White House match with Topuria shortly after his victory.

The White House competition, planned by UFC CEO Dana White, will be held on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on June 14. Even President Donald Trump is serious about holding the event. According to the US 'The Washington Post', President Trump said, "You will never see a UFC event like this again. It will be a tremendous match like never before," he professed.

Combining local reports, the match is being prepared with an unconventional concept for fighters to walk out of the Oval Office and head to the Octagon. American martial arts media Bloody Elbow quoted an official as saying, "There is a more than 90% chance that the unified title match between Topuria and Gaichi will be confirmed as the main event of the White House tournament."

Topuria beat Charles Oliveira in June last year to become a two-weight champion, winning the featherweight division and the lightweight division, but briefly left the Octagon without playing the first defense due to privacy controversy. However, through this agreement, Topuria is expected to make a spectacular comeback at the White House, which symbolizes the United States.
