As expected, it didn't take long for Justin Gaethje to speak out after being provoked by Ilia Topuria . And, if in June, in Washington (USA), the American punished the UFC star at the White House and became lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg), now, outside the octagon, he did the same.

Last Wednesday (16), the Georgian, when announcing his return to training, stated that the executioner used a modified glove and that there was something 'strange' about them and even told him to go to hell. Therefore, Gaethje , on his official account on 'X', responded, treating the serious accusation made by Topuria as a conspiracy theory to justify the setback suffered.
It's worth highlighting that this was the first defeat suffered by 'El Matador', who left the octagon disfigured. Therefore, the UFC lightweight champion mocked his rival, making a point of emphasizing that he fell short of expectations, since he was the overwhelming favorite to win.
"94 days and the best you could come up with was a lame excuse. As terrible as your last performance. Get better, kid," wrote the UFC champion.
