Stuns world at White House Gaethje won the undisputed UFC Lightweight Championship on Sunday, defeating Ilia Topuria via TKO (corner stoppage) at UFC Freedom 250 in Washington DC.

Impact A former two-time interim UFC Lightweight Champion, Gaethje now holds the undisputed 155-pound crown and he did so in the most unlikely of fashions. Entering as a +500 underdog, Justin went back to his roots and did the thing that made him famous: he won a war. It predictably didn't come easy. After a tight opening round, Topuria totally controlled Round 2, nearly earning the stoppage. Yet Gaethje survived and excelled the rest of the way, largely on the strength of being the better conditioned athlete. Justin got clipped plenty, but outside of some brutal body shots in the second frame, wore the damage well. Topuria, on the other hand, was a bloody and battered mess. With Gaethje seemingly pulling ahead for good, it looked like the doctor was going to stop the fight after Round 3, only to essentially get overruled in a strange circumstance. Justin went right back to work, getting the better of the action in Round 4 before Topuria's corner wouldn't let him get off the stool for the final frame. Just a truly unbelievable set of circumstances. Gaethje's past history and age (38 in November) combined with the fact he competes in a loaded lightweight division would make you think this title run isn't going to be an extended one, but then again, no one thought this would happen in the first place.
