UFC Regulator Vindicates Gaethje After Topuria's Glove Cheating Accusation

UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje has dismissed Ilia Topuria's accusation that he cheated during their June fight at UFC Freedom 250. Topuria, who lost the title after his corner stopped the bout due to severe facial injuries, claimed on social media that Gaethje manipulated his gloves. However, Andy Foster, the event regulator from the California State Athletic Commission, confirmed to USA TODAY that Gaethje's gloves and wraps were fully compliant with regulations and inspected by multiple officials. Gaethje, who became the undisputed champion for the first time, called the accusation a 'lame excuse' and indicated he is open to a rematch, though he criticized Topuria's method of generating hype. Topuria has completed his recovery and is ready to return to competition, with a potential title rematch looming, though Dana White has also promised a title shot to Arman Tsarukyan.
