One of the most humble fighters that MMA has ever produced, Charles of the Bronx once again displayed great sportsmanship. In the main event of UFC White House, an event held last Sunday (14), in Washington (USA), Ilia Topuria was surprised by Justin gaethje And he suffered his first defeat in the sport in a cruel way, through the corner's resignation. Upon seeing his tormentor in terrible condition, the Brazilian made a point of offering his support.

The former lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg) and current holder of the 'BMF' belt (baddest motherfucker in the UFC) encouraged the Georgian to turn his career around. Interestingly, Charles was brutally knocked out by Topuria in the first round in June 2025. In any case, unlike what they did... Arman Tsarukyan, Islam makhachev e Paddy PimblettBrazilians are rooting for 'El Matador's' recovery and predict he will become even more dangerous, living up to his nickname.
