Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall recently underwent double eye surgery to repair damage from an eye poke by Ciryl Gane, creating uncertainty around the UFC White House main event plans. The injury has forced the UFC to explore alternative headliner options for the June 14 event. Rumors have circulated about a potential interim heavyweight title fight between light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and Gane as a possible replacement main event. Aspinall's recovery timeline remains unclear, and the UFC is evaluating multiple scenarios to ensure the White House card features a compelling championship-level headliner for the historic event.
