Justin Gaethje Vows to Upset Ilia Topuria at UFC White House

Interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje is set to face rising prospect Ilia Topuria on June 14 at UFC White House. Gaethje views the bout as a golden chance to become the undisputed champion with a single victory.

While Topuria’s swagger is intimidating, Gaethje plans to channel that confidence as fuel for his own performance. In a TMZ Sports interview he likened Topuria’s attitude to Conor McGregor’s, promising to give him a lesson.

Though the odds favor Topuria, Gaethje believes his experience can deliver a major upset. The fight is shaping up as one of the most anticipated lightweight clashes of the year.
