Justin Gaethje pulled off a massive upset against Ilia Topuria at the UFC’s highly anticipated event at the White House on Sunday night.
The American earned a TKO victory at the end of the fourth round of the UFC Freedom 250 main event to become the new undisputed lightweight champion in Washington. Gaethje entered the fight as the interim champ and successfully unified the titles.
“I prayed so much for this opportunity, to do something legendary, and I know that was absolutely legendary – because I cannot even believe it,” Gaethje said in his postfight interview.
