Ilia Topuria has nothing but praise for Justin Gaethje after suffering his first career defeat.

“El Matador” relinquished the lightweight crown to Gaethje in the UFC White House headliner on Sunday night, falling to his American adversary via fourth-round technical knockout when his corner waved off the fight. After looking nearly invincible for the majority of his professional tenure, Topuria was bloodied and battered by one of the sport’s most respected veterans.

The Georgian-Spaniard acknowledged as much in a post on Instagram.

“Justin, congratulations. You said you’d leave your mark on my face… and you did,” Topuria wrote. “You took the sight from my right eye in the first round, and by the end of the second, from my left too.

“No excuses. I had one of the best camps of my life. I came in sharp, prepared, and ready. Last night was your night. That’s the nature of this game. Glory and pain walk side by side.”

Josh Hokit is making waves in the UFC’s heavyweight division, but some of his recent post-fight remarks aren’t scoring him any points with promotion officials.

Hokit improved to 4-0 in the Octagon with a second-round stoppage of Derrick Lewis at UFC White House on Sunday in Washington, D.C. Hokit, who has gained attention for his cringe-worthy pro wrestling schtick, took a different route when speaking with Joe Rogan following his latest victory. During the segment, Hokit praised President Donald Trump, gave thanks to God and continued his verbal assault toward former two-division champion Alex Pereira before shifting gears entirely.

“Lastly, Michele Obama is a man,” Hokit said. “Am I right, America?”

White House UFC fighter Josh Hokit just said:

“Michelle Obama is a man… am I right America?”

How are you enjoying Trump…

Jon Jones has reasserted his status as MMA GOAT after Alex Pereira’s loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC White House. 

Pereira (13-4) looked to win a title in a third weight class when he challenged Gane (14-2) for the interim heavyweight title at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday at the White House. However, Pereira barely landed any significant damage while Gane’s jab was on point from the opening bell. “Bon Gamin” hurt Pereira early in the second round and unleashed vicious damage on him on the ground before securing a standing technical knockout on the feet. 

Still the Best in His Own Mind Jones reacted to Pereira’s loss by wearing a necklace of a GOAT in a video posted on social media, signifying the greatest fighter of all time. Jones is currently having a fallout with the UFC since he was denied a spot on the White House card. While Jones retired last year, he started rallying for a spot on the card as soon as it was mentioned.
