Montana Native Set for Huge Fight at White House UFC Event
One of Montana's brightest and biggest stars will take main stage at the White House coming up on June 14th.
And no, we're talking about any movie stars or even politicians, we're talking about none other than a Montana native who just so happens to be one of UFC's most polarizing stars.
Montana Will Be Represented at UFC "Freedom 250" at the White House
On June 14th, Ultimate Fighting Championship's "Freedom 250" event will take place from - you guessed it - the White House on June 14th to honor America's 250th birthday, which will be a few weeks later on July 4th (or July 2nd depending on if you count the day of the formal vote).
The card for America's biggest fight night will feature Montana's own and Helena native, Sean O'Malley versus Aiemann Zahabi.
O'Malley shared his excitement with fighting publication MMA Junkie and said he'll even get to begin his walkout entrance from the Oval Office.

"That's what they're saying," O'Malley told MMA Junkie, "You walk from the Oval Office into the White House lawn. It's honestly hard to even wrap your head around. It doesn't even feel like it's reality."
O'Malley told MMA Junkie he's aware of all of the attention the event will get, especially politically - but it won't deter him from savoring a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"I don't know how people feel about the White House card, who's watching, a lot of politics around it," O'Malley said.
"For me, this is an opportunity for me to go out there and have millions of people that might have never watched a fight see me because they're watching the White House card."
Tale of the Tape: O'Malley Vs. Zahabi
Heading into the bantamweight fight in June, O'Malley (31 years old) is 19-3-0 (1 NC) while his opponent Zahabi (38 years old) is on a seven-fight win streak at 14-2 according to ESPN.
While both weigh 135 pounds, O'Malley is 5'11 and Zahabi is 5'8 in height.
