Quick read
Justin Gaethje claimed the UFC lightweight championship in his third title attempt at age 37, with Ilia Topuria's corner halting the contest at the end of Round 4. Key moments included an uppercut in Round 1 that damaged Topuria's eye, Topuria's body work in Round 2, and a combination in Round 3 that opened a severe hematoma on Topuria's second eye — ultimately preventing him from coming out for Round 5. Gaethje won without relying on his trademark low kicks, demonstrating the same striking power that has defined his career.
