    Amazing. Really pleased for JG, especially to finally achieve his dream of becoming a world champion on a stage of this magnitude. Surprised he was able to withstand Topuria's power but that being said I'm not sure Topuria caught him flush with the kind of shots he caught his previous 3 victims with. Huge heart from Topuria but he was getting the worst of it from the get-go and in most of the rounds

    I figured Justin wouldn't go down early and that he'd drag him into a war, which Topuria wouldn't be ready for. Especially with a bigger very heavy handed man.

    Gaethje barely made it to his feet on his own at the end of round 4.

    Both fighters gave their all. Inflicted tonne of violence on each other

    That last knee was absolutely brutal. That ended the fight.

    Why was my post moved to war room? Is the fact that this is the WH card not relevant to officials overruling the DR stoppage in RD4?

    Brutal fight

    And once again Serge is proven correct about how everything changes when you're facing a puncher or KO artist

    Topuria would get KO'ed by Crawford, Boots, and Fundora in round 1. Topuria is more overrated.

    I actually started having second thoughts after Gane demolished Poatan. There was something in the air and it was all too perfect a stage and setting for JG to spring the upset and finally achieve his dream. The American nearly man in the main event in the White House against the big favourite P4P star. Perfect

    That knee to the body right before the bell just broke Topuria.
