Williams, who downed four Soviet jets in a secret 1952 dogfight and later received the Medal of Honor, became a symbol of American grit amid the spectacle. Despite legal challenges and lawsuits claiming the event prioritized private interests over public good, a judge blocked efforts to stop it. The night ended with Justin Gaethje claiming victory and the president and First Lady entering the cage to celebrate — blending military legend, MMA drama, and presidential pageantry in one unforgettable night.
