Gaethje Dismisses Topuria Glove Claims, Eyes Tsarukyan for 2027 Title Defense

Justin Gaethje has ruled out an immediate rematch with Ilia Topuria, arguing the Spaniard’s glove cheating accusations were a media distraction. Gaethje, who is recovering from hand injuries, suggests Topuria is undersized for lightweight and should return to featherweight. While Gaethje remains undecided on his future, he identifies Arman Tsarukyan as the logical next challenger, though Henry Cejudo proposes a series of preliminary bouts to determine the title contender.
