Quick read
Justin Gaethje's father expressed confidence ahead of his son's upcoming lightweight title fight, saying Ilia Topuria is the type of small, compact fighter Gaethje has handled successfully before, pointing to wins over Michael Chandler and Rafael Fiziev. Topuria responded sharply, stating that fathers hope while champions know, and noting that every big, strong fighter who underestimated him learned the truth the same way. Topuria closed his message by promising to go 18-0 on June 14.
