iliatopuria on InstagramUFC boss Dana White has become the latest person to dismiss Ilia Topuria's claims that Justin Gaethje cheated at UFC Freedom 250.
As of late, Ilia Topuria has had a few things to say about Justin Gaethje and their fight at UFC Freedom 250, which ended with Ilia having to quit on the stool due to the damage being inflicted on him by Gaethje.

Ilia Topuria is a proud man, but after suggesting that there was something off about Gaethje's gloves, there has been uproar in the mixed martial arts community from those suggesting that he is making excuses. He's still one of the biggest stars in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, but the ‘aura' that he once had isn't quite at the same level these days following the defeat.
In his UFC 331 post-fight press conference appearance, Dana White had the following to say about Ilia Topuria's remarks.
Dana White on Ilia Topuria's Gaethje glove claim
“So the head of the Athletic Commission here in California is looked at as probably the best in the world, and he was there, and inspectors were watching (Gaethje) get his hands wrapped and put his gloves on, all that s—, nothing happened with Gaethje's gloves,†White commented.
Quotes via Bloody Elbow
Regardless of what you think on this subject, it certainly feels like there's a revival of the Gaethje/Topuria rivalry here. Whether or not that leads the UFC down the path of booking the rematch remains to be seen, but that feels like what Ilia is trying to get done by making comments like this. From a publicity standpoint, he is definitely generating some attention.
