03:5680 000 not far away on the ellipse thank you chrissy ready to go and that is the belt that
04:04is on the line here at ufc freedom 250 the calm cool and collected ilia topordia is in the blue
04:12center of the octagon justin gaethje working off of that jab early is in what that was stiff jab by
04:17gaethje
04:18there
04:26where's walking him down
04:31gaethje's jab being heard from early that's three nice low kick by
04:45gaethje had to wait a long time and off to an outstanding start
04:51it's almost like taporia doesn't respect what justin's throwing at him
04:56oh nice leg kick that's another one from taporia justin needs to throw his leg kick
05:03oh nice right big right hand from taporia after gaethje appeared to land
05:09gaethje landed a good right hand there taporia came back with a right hand of his own
05:14taporia is so slick the way he holds his hands up and moves with punches
05:18oh right hand over the top nice right hand there by justin go counter got through for the american
05:25nice uppercut but you can just see like the difference in the power
05:29or at least the way taporia throws it seems like his is taking more of an effect so precise
05:35there's a clean right hand by ilia
05:38gaethje pursues the clinch
05:42nice uppercut by gaethje again
05:46really good start for the underdog gaethje landed 15 of 26 significant strikes already
05:51remember gaethje threw so many leg kicks he doesn't do that anymore
05:56i think that would benefit him with topori having such a heavy boxing style and topori is already
06:01bloodied up on that right side oh leave right here he's so fast precise he's so quick
06:12appears as though it was an uppercut that opened toporia up
06:15and it's when justin nice jab by jc it's when justin grabs that single he fakes a single then grabs
06:22and up throws an uppercut
06:26oh another nice jab the timing in that jab is nice
06:33toporia to the body continues to invest in that old leg kick as well
06:37that uppercut by justin is landing
06:46gaethje particularly sharp early toporia closes the distance
06:50right hand partially lands for gaethje
06:58oh another jab they've traded jabs there
07:00oh yeah but gaethje is solid
07:06oh another uppercut there in tight
07:08when toporia closes the distance justin grabs his leg and it throws an uppercut of the middle
07:14under two now to go in round one topori is going to just keep pressing though
07:22oh
07:22nice right hand by justin beautiful right hand
07:26couldn't ask for a much better stone for justin gaethje close plus 350 or so
07:32trading at 29 right now and polymark and a big right hand for gaethje
07:38huge opening round so far for the challenger
07:45but you also know the danger is always there from toporia
07:50toporia but as you get damage put on you you lose power before you better get going
07:57oh right hand by toporia and a left hook behind it
08:02gaethje still able to follow up with his own offense now looks about
08:05let's look back toporia inside
08:09man illiad just throws hard whenever he gets in close he talks about his his ability in the pocket
08:18oh they're trading early
08:25oh my goodness these dudes are going at it this is wild an absolutely incredible start to round one
08:33this is a crazy pace too crazy
08:40toporia's got under 30 seconds to make good on his round one knockout prediction
08:45gaethje goes high
08:47nice left hook to the body but the boy right hand over the top good combination by ilia
08:51i mean he's got so through it oh my god you want to shot up to the body oh right
08:59hand
09:01late pressure in the round from toporia
09:04is nasty oh and gaethje with a nice right block cover on the inside wow what a round
09:16is
09:17we have not seen to pour you bloody up like this in a while if ever
09:26is
09:35nice haircut there by gaethje
09:39the jab he lowers the lock that he landed a boatload in that first round
09:45another little left hand by gaethje
09:50beautiful right hand over the top by jg
09:53but then to pour you had moments a lot of moments towards the end of that round to pour you
09:57started
09:57to get justice all the way to reach and move in an awkward way and it seemed like you're starting
10:02to
10:02get a beat on gaethje rip that left hook to the body multiple times and the numbers would tell you
10:08albeit unofficially that topori outlanded gaethje 39 to 37 and ilia landed at a 67 clip 47
10:16percent for gaethje through five minutes
10:22all right here we go round two of a possible five for the ufc lightweight title
10:30gaethje started to stand a little bit in front of the pour you too much
10:47the thing about gaethje is illia is a little shorter than him so when he enters gaethje just kind of
10:52puts his jab out there and lets him run into it
10:56you see that yep yeah but now ilia is fainting before he moves in to try to lure out that
11:02jab
11:02up oh ripped to the bottom tonight's social media posts are brought to my threads for
11:08conversations happening inside and outside the octagon take it to threads
11:17that faint has changed it already look at it he's got him reaching
11:23toporia connects to the net oh and both guys land on that exchange
11:36toporia continuing his investment in the body just prior to pour you just presses you forward with
11:42that measured forward pressure
11:44i love that single leg to the collar tie uppercut by gaethje
12:16that's a huge right from gaethje toporia with a great chin ate it pretty well
12:21now we have to go
12:23i get out by justin oh yeah jab oh nice look at again
12:32body man that body's hurting oh and a big right hand for toporia cage he fires back as usual
12:37that left hook to the body is money for the warrior the warrior's left hook is real powerful here it
12:43comes again there it is rips to the body right in front of us oh to the liver that would
12:50hurt him
12:51again again again just out of range with the uppercut as toporia continues to apply pressure
12:59reset there from gaethje oh the point with an uppercut there he's digging that body shot
13:05gaethje's trying everything
13:11here comes that left hand yup gaethje's trying to tuck the elbows oh my goodness
13:34he's got his back
13:41he's got his back
13:47Toporia pails on the armbar for now.
13:50That body work was crazy by Toporia.
13:53And we have seen him do this before on multiple occasions.
13:56Look for the triangle here.
13:58Oh, Toporia's going triangle from the top.
14:02Eight wins by submission for the BJJ black belt, Toporia.
14:06And now he can switch armbar.
14:12He's going to roll him over with the leg.
14:14Oh, that was nice, Joe.
14:18There it is.
14:21Toporia got side control.
14:24Gaethje staying smart in the face of pressure.
14:26About to get mounted here.
14:28I mean, Ilya's grappling as a lead, too.
14:31You see that right now, the way he's moving around Gaethje.
14:35A lot of energy expended on both sides.
14:38A lot of offense from Toporia.
14:41Gaethje's got to be trying to find a way to get to the end of this round.
14:55U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A.
15:14Ilya fought a tremendous second round.
15:16Heard him bad for the body.
15:17Looked like he was going to finish it.
15:19But now Justin gets to go to his stool, try to recover, and try to refocus for a third round.
15:24What a fight.
15:25Through ten and a critical 60 seconds on the stools here before round three.
15:35Sit down.
15:36Water and jump on his head or not?
15:37Yeah.
15:38Water and jump?
15:40Good.
15:41Slowly bring him back.
15:44Hey.
15:45Hey, boy.
15:45Good body shot.
15:46Hey.
15:47That was a good body shot.
15:47Hey.
15:48Start pressing him.
15:49Start pressing him.
15:50No more backwards.
15:51He's pushing you back to the fence.
15:52Press him and time him.
15:54You either drop step or you open your left foot.
15:56You got me?
15:56And start bringing the low kick now.
15:58He's forgot about it.
15:59You have to dig into him, though.
16:00Okay?
16:01No more falling back.
16:02You got me?
16:03Deep breath.
16:04Here we go.
16:04Big drink for me.
16:05This is on you.
16:06This is on you.
16:06Drink.
16:08Good.
16:09Another one.
16:09Another one.
16:12Good job.
16:13Hey.
16:14Stay focused.
16:15This is where we change.
16:16Forward with left pressure.
16:17Left pressure is bringing the low kick.
16:19Kick him off his feet.
16:20He almost slapped with the right hand.
16:23He was slapping up top, not even really making a fist.
16:25Left hook.
16:26To open up that left hook to the body.
16:28Trevor Whitman doing a great job centering Justin Gaethje.
16:31And again, with pointed advice, he wants forward motion.
16:35This scene is so surreal.
16:37The fog is rolling through the cage.
16:40This fight is incredible.
16:41He wants Gaethje pressing forward.
16:43He said he's allowing Teporia to back him up.
16:45This is good for Gaethje.
16:47Get close.
16:47Get in contact.
16:48Try to clinch and hold him.
16:50Because Ilya, I mean, both of them are fatigued.
16:52The pace has been so high.
16:53But Ilya did look a little tired going back to the end of that round.
17:05Teporia landing a remarkable 72% of his significant strikes.
17:09John, 60-something percent in the first round, 70 in the second.
17:14It's crazy.
17:15It does appear to be a little bit of fatigue.
17:17Coach Dean Thomas, what do you got?
17:19This is a bad spot for Gaethje.
17:21It seems physically at times he ended that round bad.
17:23But it's not all that bad for him because he's been in these wars before.
17:27He's got to be able to draw from that experience and take Teporia into a war.
17:31Because we've never seen Teporia in a war.
17:33So Gaethje does have some advantages as the way this fight is playing out.
17:37And there was the low kick from Gaethje.
17:38And that was what Trevor Whitten was calling for in the corner.
17:41He said he's not going to anticipate it.
17:42He landed it hard.
17:43Well, Ilya's waiting because he's trying to get his second win.
17:47Justin's got to get to work right now.
17:48Not allow for him to rebuild his win.
17:50That's a great read, champ.
17:51Ilya Teporia has been 25 minutes in the UFC against Josh Emmett back in 2023.
17:55It was a fight of the night, but largely it was one-way traffic.
17:59Right.
17:59And that's the difference, right?
18:01He's taken damage.
18:02He's been hit.
18:03But if you're Justin, you want to do what Trevor Whitman said, you've got to start kicking that leg.
18:07Justin looks fresher right now.
18:08Ilya looks like he really drained himself trying to finish.
18:11And he looks much slower right now.
18:13And there's like a power threat still because he hits so hard.
18:16But that threat goes down from 10 to like 6 when you start getting it around 3, 4, and 5.
18:23Well, and I don't have to tell you guys,
18:24but wrestling and grappling is exhausting.
18:26Gaethje oftentimes will say he doesn't wrestle a lot in MMA because he's worried about fatigue.
18:32Here's that jab again by Gaethje.
18:34Gaethje lifts the fresher fight.
18:36Oh!
18:36I had to hurt him.
18:38Huge right for Gaethje.
18:39Gorsho, Gorsho, Gorsho.
18:43He hurt Teporia bad.
18:47Teporia was almost standing in front of him just waiting.
18:51Hard to see the extent to which Teporia has recovered.
18:53Huge moment for Gaethje midway through round 3.
18:57Huge moment.
19:00USA! USA!
19:00And here come the USA chants here on the sub-lawn.
19:04USA! USA! USA! USA!
19:07USA! USA!
19:08Teporia back to his feet.
19:10Teporia is in trouble.
19:12He's beat.
19:12Look at his face.
19:13We've never seen Ilya Teporia like this before.
19:17His face battered.
19:20Cut over the right eye.
19:22Bruising over the left eye.
19:24And that's not going to help matters even if partially blocked.
19:28Look at his face.
19:29His face is destroyed right now.
19:31We've never seen him like this.
19:34And when Teporia throws offense, Gaethje now making him pay.
19:38But Gaethje's got to press a little bit.
19:41Because like you said, I think that was such a great point.
19:43Dean's point.
19:45Teporia has not experienced these wars.
19:47We've seen Gaethje in these constantly.
19:50But we're still only in the third.
19:52Yeah.
19:53He's got to save some.
19:54But if Gaethje actually allows for him to build back into this fight.
19:58But I believe that Ilya will start to take over again.
20:01Perhaps.
20:02But if Gaethje can still do this.
20:04If Ilya really wants him out.
20:06And if he can continue to chip away at him like this.
20:10Another right hand there landed by Gaethje.
20:15Right hand again.
20:18Ilya is in real trouble.
20:19Look at his face.
20:21Oh.
20:22Gaethje almost fell over.
20:24Oh.
20:25Oh.
20:26Oh.
20:32You hear the Gaethje chance.
20:34You can imagine how raucous it is over on the ellipse right now.
20:37One minute now to go round three.
20:39Teporia fires back.
20:40He's searching for that body shot again.
20:44Oh.
20:45Oh.
20:45Oh.
20:45Oh.
20:45Oh.
20:46Oh.
20:46Acknowledged by Gaethje.
20:47Oh.
20:48Oh.
20:48He heard him.
20:50He has heard it.
20:51Teporia back with that right hand.
20:55Teporia circles away.
20:57Body language.
20:58Not ideal.
21:01Oh my goodness.
21:03This is crazy.
21:04This is crazy.
21:06We have never seen the champion look like this in a fight before.
21:10Gaethje presses forward with a knee.
21:16Just in earlier's career with throw leg kicks from inside the clinch.
21:23So Portie has only fought a handful of times at lightweight in the UFC.
21:26This is first title defense tonight.
21:28Oh my goodness.
21:29That was a massive run for Gaethje.
21:32Nice knee to the leg there by Gaethje.
21:33The tie turns in round.
21:37Oh.
21:37Look at him.
21:41Look in his face as he goes back to his corner.
21:45Oh my goodness.
21:45I've never seen Ilya look like this before.
21:51I want to see his body language.
21:53I want to see what his body tells me in between rounds.
21:57Doctor because he can see with this house.
22:00You hear that?
22:00Call the doctor.
22:01He can see in the right eyes.
22:03No puede haber.
22:03Llamar al doctor.
22:04He cannot see it.
22:05Hay que llamar al doctor.
22:06Call the doctor.
22:08They're calling for the doctor in the corner.
22:10This is crazy.
22:13Is he saying he can't see?
22:14He can't see out the right eye.
22:15You can see it.
22:16I cannot see anything.
22:18Oh, it's over.
22:19If he says that, the doctor's going to stop the fight.
22:22They're going to stop the fight.
22:23They're going to stop the fight.
22:26How do you feel?
22:27If he says he can't see, they're going to stop this.
22:30Look at me.
22:30Do you want to continue?
22:33Of course.
22:34Yeah, I want to continue.
22:38Give him water.
22:39Oh my goodness.
22:40Oh my goodness.
22:43Ilya.
22:46Get it away from me.
22:49Get it away from me.
22:50All right.
22:51Time.
22:52Time.
22:52All right.
22:52Mark Goddard is now called time.
22:54Given the ringside position a chance to make his decision.
22:57Yeah, but this is allowing him to recover.
22:58Yeah, this is not the way it's supposed to be.
23:01This allows to pour you more time.
23:04The referee's not the fight.
23:05No.
23:06The doctor's saying no.
23:08Hey.
23:08Hey.
23:10Oh, this is crazy.
23:11But this is crazy.
23:13Mark Goddard taking his time as the best in the business.
23:16But this guy needs to get, they need to get fired.
23:19He can lay.
23:20Hey.
23:21Locked up.
23:21Locked up.
23:22Stop.
23:22Stop this.
23:23Locked up.
23:25This is more time for Ilya to recover, though.
23:28This is not good.
23:29None of this is good.
23:30I want to let it go.
23:31You're going to let it go.
23:32But this is crazy.
23:33They gave him another minute for a minute.
23:34Yeah, he got another minute for a minute.
23:36That is wild.
23:40Tonight's championship rounds are brought to you by Ram Trucks.
23:44Nothing stops Ram.
23:46Seemed like the doctor was ready to stop the fight.
23:51We will continue now with round four.
23:55But if you're to pour you, you've got two minutes in between.
23:58You've got to take advantage of the extra time you've got to recover.
24:01And it was exactly a full extra minute on the screws.
24:04It's two minutes between rounds.
24:06That's crazy.
24:07Yeah, but then one of our producers said Gaethje did too.
24:10But Gaethje wasn't the one that was struggling as bad with the cardio.
24:13Exactly.
24:14And he wasn't the one that was hurt badly.
24:17And Ilya looks better already.
24:19And I'm not seeing his job for a minute.
24:22I'm just seeing that he looks like he's ready to fight now.
24:26But that guy would not quit.
24:28Ilya to free, wasn't he?
24:29He's not going to quit on himself.
24:31He's going to keep trying to fight.
24:31Justin just landed another hard right hand.
24:33He's not seeing it.
24:34Oh!
24:35Beautiful throw by Gaethje.
24:37Yo, this is so smart.
24:39To just make him, make him work.
24:41Make him fight.
24:42Make him work in every situation.
24:45So, Borja covering up.
24:46Gaethje continues to throw offense his way.
24:51They're talking to each other.
24:54Oh, by the way.
24:56Oh, shoots up from Gaethje.
25:01Nice jab from Justin.
25:05Nice leg kick there by Teporia.
25:07What an absolute war for the lightweight title.
25:12I have never seen Ilya Teporia's face this beat up.
25:15No.
25:16Justin Gaethje.
25:17Justin Gaethje hit so hard.
25:18That is what guys have said when we asked all those great lightweights.
25:23Poirier.
25:23To beat.
25:24Yes.
25:24Who hit you the hardest?
25:25They said Justin Gaethje almost unanimously.
25:27Well, coming in here, Teporia had 2 minutes and 27 seconds of fight time against an elite lightweight.
25:33Gaethje had hours.
25:34So, there were a lot of advantages that maybe the public didn't see on the Gaethje side.
25:39He's got a lead here with 8 or so minutes.
25:42Also, Gaethje is physically a much larger man.
25:45Oh, another right hand.
25:46Ilya just touched his left eye and Justin kind of like almost gestured at him.
25:52Look at the swelling around that left eye.
25:54It's crazy.
26:01Ilya Teporia.
26:02Oh, nice right hand by Teporia.
26:04That might hurt Gaethje.
26:07That was a big right hand.
26:14It changed whenever Gaethje was the one that started taking the center.
26:17Teporia seems to be in turn on going forward again.
26:20Gaethje makes his head.
26:21Oh, now a knee.
26:23Teporia, the body and a right hand.
26:25Gaethje circles out on her two and a half to go round four.
26:32Fighters exchange jabs.
26:35Oh, big right hand.
26:37And immediately answered by Gaethje.
26:39That uppercut.
26:40That uppercut's hurting him.
26:42Yeah, that might be.
26:43That was bothered as bad.
26:44He's hurt.
26:46Yeah, there's a bone protrusion on the right side there.
26:49Oh my goodness.
26:52Teporia is absolutely battered in that facial region under two right corners.
26:58It's just so used to...
27:00Oh!
27:01And you gotta think that that right eye swelling up like that.
27:04Left eye swelling like that.
27:08Oh.
27:09Oh, that was a nice job by the truck.
27:11Isolating that front of the eye.
27:17That's the reaction perhaps from Teporia.
27:30I gotta give it to Teporia, man.
27:32At the end of that third round, it didn't look like he was done.
27:35And he is fighting a really good fourth round now.
27:38This is a terrible situation for Justin.
27:42Oh, elbow.
27:43To be this exhausted and to get mounted like this.
27:47I mean, we might be going to do a round, a fifth round, where this thing is two to two.
27:51Yeah.
27:52Because Teporia's fighting a really good fourth round.
27:55If Justin can explode out of this, he's almost out.
27:59Oh!
28:00Okay.
28:00Oh!
28:10Teporia and Teporia have each landed 131 total strikes.
28:14Teporia has a quick check on the climb.
28:19Teporia with a takedown or looked like a good entry?
28:22Oh!
28:22Good straw!
28:29That's not a good sign for Teporia that he bailed on that takedown attempt.
28:33Well, Justin got his hips down.
28:34Gaethje needs to be punching though.
28:36He's got to be working.
28:37He's got to try to make Ilya work through this last 20 seconds in a round.
28:4210 seconds.
28:46Big knee by Gaethje.
28:48Late round four.
28:49He's in serious pain from that shot to the body.
28:53Oh, that knee hurt him.
28:55That knee hurt him bad.
28:58Gaethje is tired.
29:03He just said something to his brother.
29:06Watch it.
29:06No, no, no, no.
29:07We finished the fight.
29:08We finished the fight.
29:09No, we finished the fight.
29:10It's almost like he's trying to not finish.
29:12And that'll do it.
29:12That's it!
29:14He's gone!
29:15And new!
29:16Wow!
29:17Ilya Retired on his stool!
29:19Oh my goodness!
29:20Justin Gaethje with the ultimate career capstone at the wall!
29:26He retired on his stool!
29:29Oh my goodness!
29:31Ilya Topordia's brother trying to say we're going to finish the fight, but Topordia could not!
29:36And new!
29:38Unbelievable!
29:40Geez!
29:41Down and now, the American Justin Gaethje!
29:44One of the great upsets in the history of the sport!
29:48That's crazy!
29:49That's one of the biggest upsets, especially with how bad Ilya had in the second round!
29:55Come on!
29:56Well, perhaps in terms of the betting line, but given everything that Justin Gaethje had accomplished
30:02in this lightweight division, you've got to think some segment of the fan base and the
30:08pundits are not surprised that he was able to get his brand of violence on Ilya's avoidance.
30:14I mean, we talk about this constantly, he is just the master of brutality, and he just
30:21systematically broke Ilya to pour you down.
30:23He was hurt bad at times in this fight, and he was able to just keep fighting, and I mean,
30:29for one of the biggest upsets I've seen, I mean, that was an uphill battle from the
30:34moment this fight was announced, that Justin Gaethje would get the job done.
30:37But he believed, and he did!
30:39And certainly it'll be interesting to see what sort of rebuild is in store for Ilya Tovordia,
30:45but tonight belongs to the Safford, Arizona native and proud American, the highlight, Justin Gaethje
30:54on top of the MMA world.
30:56Hold that flag up, let's go.
30:59Hold that flag up.
31:00Okay, they're saying that the corner stopped the fight.
31:03All right, we're being told one of the corner men stopped the fight.
31:07It certainly wasn't his brother who said, audibly, we are going to finish the fight, and one
31:11of the corner men stopped the fight.
31:13And Justin Gaethje is the new undisputed lightweight champion.
31:17That's crazy, man.
31:18The one thing that had eluded Justin Gaethje was that undisputed title, not anymore,
31:23as he alluded to his mom and his dad, the support that this family gives Justin is crazy.
31:29And tonight he went out there to represent himself, his family, and the United States
31:34of America.
31:35John, we spoke about storylines the whole night.
31:39If that was a setting for a monumental upset, it was this.
31:44And Justin Gaethje just did it.
31:47They continue to attend to Ilya Tovordia.
31:50Perhaps it was Javier Clement who stopped the fight to try to protect his fighter to fight
31:57another day.
31:58Gaethje goes over to acknowledge Tovordia.
32:00Those two fighters forever linked, but JG got it done.
32:04It's kind of crazy, though, because I thought Tovordia's fourth round was his best round
32:09in a while.
32:10But right here, you see Gaethje with the beautiful right hand.
32:13Boom, that's the one that hurt Tovordia.
32:15I mean, Ilya's face is just destroyed.
32:19Big right hand by Gaethje, drops Tovordia.
32:22Justin jumped on that dart choke.
32:25Another right hand.
32:26I mean, once Tovordia's eyes swole shut, Gaethje could not miss with the right hand.
32:31And then watch at the end of this round.
32:33Justin, oh my God, knees him right at the rib.
32:37And you can see Tovordia immediately take his left elbow back.
32:40You could tell he was hurt bad.
32:42By the way he got up to go back to his stool, you could tell that Ilya was very hurt.
32:48And you remember back in the day when Justin Gaethje first won the interim lightweight championship.
32:56He unceremoniously tossed the belt on the ground, and now he's the undisputed champ.
33:02But we saw Alexander Tovordia say, we're going to finish the fight, but somebody else got involved.
33:10All eyes on the highlight.
33:12Justin Gaethje.
33:12We'll talk to him next as we roll on where this is Paramount+.
33:25June 26th.
