Gaethje pulls off upset at UFC White House event; Topuria suffers facial fractures

Justin Gaethje claimed a stunning victory at the UFC's Freedom 250 event held at the White House, delivering what many are calling the upset of the year. Ilia Topuria sustained fractures to both eye sockets and his nose during the bout and has since been discharged from medical care, recovering at home. Alex Pereira has been publicly calling for the suspension of referee Herb Dean following the event. Separately, a foiled drone attack with explosives had been planned against the event and was thwarted by the FBI four days before it took place.
