← UFC White House

Did Justin Gaethje pull off the biggest upset of all time? 😱

'The Highlight' stopped Ilia Topuria to finally become a UFC champion at the White House.

I honestly dont see it as an upset. I was worried for Justin, dont get me wrong, but Ive watched that kid his entire pro career and like Islam said, Justin is the real dog. I wouldn't say him beating anyone anywhere near his weight is an upset.

Strickland against Izzy has got to be up there too.

bradj00823mo ago

No, I guess it was an upset...but how many times has he won as underdog now....is his age really a factor? Pimbletts face Topurias face , back to back? Cmon....I agree with let him McGregor, hes earned the payday, McGregor isnt beating Holloway tho.

Matt Serra beating GSP hands down was way bigger of an upset. I believe it does come a close 2nd or 3rd all time because the Amanda Nunes upset was up there too.

Not many people have him a chance, but once again he proved why he is my favourite fighter. Justin is the real god of war and even in an unlikely match up he showed why he should never be counted out. I remember someone posting Topuria wins this 99/100. You're the man Justin 👍

No

kyle.dimond3mo ago

Not for me. I thought Topuria would win but still expected Gaethje to make it difficult. Gaethje is a far superior fighter to the likes of Serra and Pena.

harvey.leonard3mo ago

I honestly think he did. I didn't even see a 1 percent chance of Ilia losing that, let alone having his entire face re-arranged

markmarston3mo ago

I remember Nunes Pena and just being absolutely stunned. Not sure that’ll ever be topped

jamie.theodosi3mo ago

I’m still in complete disbelief. I think a lot of it is because Topuria was regarded as untouchable. 2 huge upsets in back to back numbered events is wild.

jackgallagher3mo ago

Right up there for me, but Matt Serra beating GSP will be no1 forever

oldnhbfreak3mo ago

Told you not to count Gaethje out. He is a Warrior. No way Gaethje would ever go "no mas". But I knew guys like Topuria give up when their character and ego are put through the test.

jusboes3mo ago

We're in the moment right now but nothing is a bigger upset to me than Serra beating GSP

jordan.ellis3mo ago

It's up there. Pena probs still #1 for me. I always felt Gaethje had a punchers chance.

I can't remember believing in a fighter less than I believed in Gaethje at this level. Biggest upset ever for me.
