Quick read

Justin Gaethje's father has said the June 14 UFC lightweight title fight represents the biggest bout of his son's career, adding that Ilia Topuria is the type of small, stocky opponent Justin has already handled successfully, pointing to past wins over Michael Chandler and Rafael Fiziev. Topuria responded directly, dismissing the comments and saying he has heard similar talk from bigger, stronger men who all found out the hard way. The champion signed off with a reminder that he stands 18-0 and that Gaethje's father will learn the truth on June 14.
