Justin Gaethje is the undisputed UFC lightweight champion after Ilia Topuria quit on the stool at the end of round 4 🤯
The doctor almost stopped the fight at the end of round 3. Topuria couldn't see out of one eye. He begged the doctor to let him continue. They did. He went back out for the 4th round. Then quit on the stool.
17-0. Four straight KOs of champions. Pre-booked a victory party with Oleksandr Usyk. Updated his record to 18-0 on Instagram before the fight started. Threw a white rose at Gaethje during the walkout.
None of it mattered. Gaethje went forward all night. He said his opponents made the mistake of fighting backwards. He didn't. He pressured Topuria from the first bell. He damaged the eye. He broke the unbeatable man on the White House lawn.
"This is 'Miracle on Ice' type of energy." He wasn't joking. 28-5. A +385 underdog. A bonus in every single one of his UFC fights. The American underdog on American soil on the 250th anniversary of the country.
The biggest upset in UFC history just happened on the South Lawn of the White House 😳
@Magatsumis Nah yall just cant read between the lines, this changed how i see Shiba, ever since this moment he has been trying to prove himself to himself #kagurabachi
Akemura is such a refreshing villain, off the little we saw it really did show us who he is, i cant wait to see him in the flashback tomorrow, also the new Seitei war Arc is so brilliantly placed in the story #kagurabachi114
