Dana White Shuts Down Ilia Topuria’s Baseless Loaded Gloves Claim Against Justin Gaethje
White said California regulators found nothing wrong with Gaethje’s gloves and called Topuria’s cheating claim lame.
- Following his loss at UFC Freedom 250 in June, Ilia Topuria accused Justin Gaethje of using loaded gloves. Regulator Andy Foster of the California State Athletic Commission dismissed the claims, stating inspectors found nothing wrong.
- Responding to the accusation after 94 days of silence, Gaethje called Topuria's excuse "lame." Although initially uninterested in a rematch, he has performed a U-turn following the cheating allegations.
- Speaking after UFC 331 this past Saturday, UFC President Dana White addressed the controversy for the first time. White confirmed inspectors closely monitored glove wrapping and found no issues with Gaethje's equipment.
- Arman Tsarukyan's knockout victory at UFC 331 positioned him as a 155 lbs title contender against Gaethje. However, White has not yet confirmed if Tsarukyan will face the champion next.
- Gaethje remains undecided regarding his fighting future, noting that retirement is still a possibility. The champion stated he will not fight again this year, preferring to focus on recovery.
