Ilia Topuria has shown the extent of his recovery from brutal facial injuries caused by Justin Gaethje, revealing his face without sunglasses for the first time in six weeks.
Topuria suffered the first defeat of his career in June, when he retired on his stool after four rounds of action at the White House. The Spanish-Georgian was headlining an unprecedented UFC event on the South Lawn, defending the lightweight title against Gaethje.
