An Arizona native defeated Ilia Topuria, previously the division’s top fighter, during a remarkable performance at the UFC White House event in Washington. This victory, which resulted in Topuria’s first professional loss, left him injured and covered in blood. This event marked a historic milestone for the winner, Gaethje. The photograph, taken by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC, captures the aftermath of the intense battle. In 2020, Justin Gaethje was defeated by Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254. He then faced Michael Chandler at UFC 268 in 2021, emerging victorious through a unanimous decision after three rounds at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The light-weight champion addressed his renowned image with referees and cited his bout with Chandler as an instance where problems can occur. During The Joe Rogan Experience, Gaethje mentioned, “I’ve been infamous for being quite demanding on these refs since one is anticipated to be flawless.” Their primary responsibility is to safeguard you. In my bout with Michael Chandler, I’ve never received an apology from the referee. “He [Chandler] jabbed me in the eye, and the referee didn’t intervene.” He permitted him to strike me with a substantial blow, and afterward, he did not allow me to regain my composure. In the second round, Michael Chandler unintentionally poked Gaethje in the eye, causing referee Mike Beltran to check if Gaethje needed a pause. Advertisement. Advertisement. Advertisement.
