Justin Gaethje and Ciryl Gane had even more reason to celebrate after UFC Casa Branca , held last Sunday (14). The main event fighters not only won belts, but also filled their pockets with million-dollar bonuses distributed by the organization.
In a title fight for the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg), Justin Gaethje had to overcome difficult moments to defeat Ilia Topuria in the main event. The American suffered a knockdown from body shots and was nearly submitted in the second round. However, he managed to recover, turned the fight around, and secured the victory between the third and fourth rounds.
