Watching UFC Freedom 250 from the White House lawn is going to be nothing like your typical fight night.

For starters, it’s on a Sunday. And while Dana White would rather keep things inside, this event’s going to be outdoors. Now there’s another change: the octagon girls won’t be in their usual outfits either.

Other sports have largely moved on from using ‘ring card girls’, but the UFC has stuck with them, except for events in the Middle East. They’ll still be part of this show too, though with a bit of a different look for this occasion.

Maxim featured UFC octagon girls Red Dela Cruz and Chrissy Blair earlier today, showing off the outfits they’ll be wearing at UFC White House. Marina Toybina, a seven-time Emmy winner, was behind the designs.

“The inspiration was born from the intersection of sport, spectacle, and celebration,” said Toybina. “Working closely with UFC, we wanted to create looks that honoured both the energy of the brand and the significance of the 250th anniversary celebration.”

“The goal was to blend strength, athleticism, glamour, and American heritage into a wardrobe language that felt sophisticated, powerful, and unmistakably iconic.”

“From streamlined silhouettes to dramatic statement pieces, each look played a role in an evolving red, white, and blue narrative. Rich textiles, custom embroidery, crystal embellishment, and patriotic motifs brought texture, movement, and a fresh interpretation of American glamour.”
