American Justin Gaethje became the undisputed UFC lightweight champion when Ilia Topuria’s corner stopped the “ultra-violent” fight at the end of the fourth round, ESPN reported.

Or as the White House press pool put it, “Topuria’s face was beaten to such a bloody pulp that he was declared incapable of continuing.”

MMA Mania’s headline for the UFC Freedom 250 headline was even more lurid: “Justin Gaethje mutilates Ilia Topuria’s blood-soaked face.”

The designated “fight of the night” award earned Gaethje and Topuria an extra $400,000 apiece, plus an additional $425,000 for Gaethje for “performance of the night.”

Gaethje got a congratulatory handshake from Trump. A “busted up” Topuria was taken to the hospital, UFC boss Dana White said, speculating that he had a broken orbital bone

The two went toe to toe early.

Topuria, a Spanish-Georgian, even had the momentum at one point.

But it didn’t last.
