Justin Gaethje's manager has definitively shut down the possibility of a rematch between Gaethje and Ilia Topuria, stating it "will never happen." The declaration comes months after the two fighters faced off on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on May 6, 2026, during a promotional event.
The original report by Ryan Harkness for SB Nation, published November 8, 2026, did not specify the manager's name or provide further details on the reasoning behind the decision. Both Gaethje and Topuria are prominent figures in the UFC lightweight division, and their White House appearance had fueled speculation about a potential future bout.
