Justin Gaethje was literally in the Oval Office before his fight, looking at the actual Declaration of Independence.
Then he walked out as a 6-to-1 underdog and beat the piss out of his opponent to win the first undisputed championship of his career.
I genuinely don't care what your politics are. That's one of the coolest sequences of events I've ever seen in sports.
Am I really supposed to think this isn't awesome because people decided to make it political?
Paddy Pimblett just went OFF on Ilia Topuria after his loss to Justin Gaethje ๐ฌ
"The only thing you had to do was beat a 38 year old coming off of a 5 round war with meโฆ instead you quit on your stool like the little b*tch you are.
Iโm a real fighter and went 5 rounds you're a little pretender chorizo! Congratulation Gaethje, rematch for undisputed?"
J Batt is on his way out of Michigan State after just one year as athletic director. Batt has agreed to a six-year deal to become Kentuckyโs AD, ESPNโs @PeteThamel reports
Dana White on the event not being political: I did all the media. We went to New York, I did far left. I did far right. I did down the middle. I did it all. I believe if you are an American, no matter where you sit politically, tonight was a proud night to just sit around and enjoy the 250th birthday of America.
REPORT: The Pistons believe trading for Trey Murphy would keep most of their core players intact, per @TheSteinLine.
They view him as the perfect complement to Cade Cunningham.

Anyone hating on this event is genuinely weird. This is the greatest country on earth and we're celebrating 250 years. Don't make it political when it doesn't need to be.
