That's how the night ended for Ilia Topuria: battered and unable to continue. His brother made the decision to stop the fight and prevent further injury.

An outcome that was (almost) impossible to imagine: Ilia Topuria (17-1) lost his undefeated record and his lightweight title to Justin Gaethje (28-5) at the White House. His corner stopped the fight at the end of the fourth round after Ilia was subjected to a brutal beating by the American. Justin, after two interim titles and a BMF title, finally emerged as the undisputed champion on what was his big night, bringing a brilliant evening for American sports to a spectacular close.
