Gaethje Becomes Undisputed UFC Champion at 37 After Stopping Topuria

Justin Gaethje became undisputed UFC lightweight champion on his third title attempt, stopping Ilia Topuria after four rounds when Topuria's corner intervened. Key moments included a first-round uppercut that damaged Topuria's eye and a third-round combination that dropped the champion and caused severe swelling around his second eye, ultimately preventing him from continuing. Gaethje earned the finish without relying on his trademark low kicks, relying instead on raw power and sharp combinations.
