Topuria Suffers Bilateral Orbital and Nasal Fractures After UFC White House Loss to Gadzhi

Ilia Topuria sustained fractures to both orbital bones and his nose in his defeat to Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, according to a close friend. Topuria has since been discharged from medical care and is recovering at home, though he was still unable to fully open his eyes in the immediate aftermath. Gaethje's upset victory has been widely hailed as one of the biggest shocks of the year. Separately, authorities confirmed they foiled a planned drone attack involving explosives targeting the event four days before it took place.
