Quick read
Ilia Topuria sustained fractures to both orbital bones and his nose during his UFC Freedom 250 loss to Justin Gaethje, according to close friend Pablo Motas. Motas confirmed that Topuria was still unable to open his eyes properly the morning after the fight, though he has since been discharged from medical care and is recovering at home. A foiled drone-bomb terror plot targeting the event was also confirmed, with the FBI and Department of Justice arresting several suspects four days before the show. Alex Pereira continued to publicly criticize referee Herb Dean, calling for his suspension, while Dean released video responses explaining which back-of-the-head strikes are deemed legal.
