More than two weeks after the legendary UFC at the White House, unseen moments from the event continue to impress MMA enthusiasts. Last Wednesday (1), the US TV channel 'Fox Nation' released the documentary “UFC FIGHT HOUSE: Behind the scenes of the biggest fight in history”, which showed some of the behind-the-scenes footage of the show, as well as details of the conclusion of the main fight. After four intense rounds, it was up to Ilia Topuria 's team to end the duel valid for the lightweight belt (up to 70,3 kg) and seal the victory for Justin Gaethje.
In the Georgian/Spanish corner was Aleksandre Topuria , also a UFC fighter and responsible for training his younger brother for many years. After watching Matador's face be disfigured by Gaethje's powerful blows for 20 minutes, he made the decision to prevent the athlete from returning for the final five minutes of the fight.

“Tell the doctor he can’t see with his right eye,” Aleksandre tells a member of the team before the start of the fourth round.
Despite this, Ilia remained enraged and determined to continue fighting, even managing to get the doctor's permission to return for the third round. After five minutes of intense violence, his brother wouldn't let him finish the fight.
"Ilia, no more fighting. It's over. We've finished the fight," he declared.
