Ilia Topuria teases Justin Gaethje rematch after receiving
medical clearance

Gaethje nearly got finished in the second round and weathered the
storm before piling on the damage against Topuria in the main event
of the White House card. “El Matador” sustained significant facial
damage in the bout, to the point where his vision was severely
affected. Topuria’s corner called for the end of the fight after
the fourth round, crowning Gaethje the new undisputed champ.

Topuria recently took to social media to announce that he has been
cleared to return to full training.

“Final medical tests done. I’m back,” Topuria wrote on X. “To all
the clowns who’ve been talking sh*t and counting me out this whole
time, here I am. Now let’s see who’s got the balls. Thanks to
everyone for the support. Next time I’ll make sure they check
Justin’s gloves so he doesn’t put anything weird on them. See you
soon.”

A rematch is strongly rumored while the championship mix at
lightweight remains largely open. Charles
Oliveira, Max
Holloway and Paddy
Pimblett are all coming off wins and gunning for a rematch with
Gaethje, who’s revealed he’s returning to action next year.
