Topuria Clears Medicals, Vows to Inspect Gaethje Gloves in Rematch
Ilia Topuria has been medically cleared to return to training after losing the UFC lightweight title to Justin Gaethje at the Freedom 250 event. In a social media post, Topuria accused Gaethje of manipulating his gloves during the bout and vowed to have them checked in a future rematch. Topuria sustained broken orbital bones but did not require surgery. The incident has intensified calls for a rematch, though Gaethje has dismissed the cheating allegations as an excuse.
