Poor performance from gaethje he wastes so much energy with missed strikes and bird cages while walking forward when he’s not throwing so that just allows his opponents to tee off. He beat Johnson from Johnson having poor cardio. Mma maths Johnson>porrier>Alvarez>gaethje>oh wait should have known whatever mma maths says the opposite will happen

Gaethje's got so much heart but the higher you get the more you're going to face the fact that great chin != good defense.

Fight was awesome but Gaethje's eventually going to be one of those guys who were impossible to knockout and at some point start getting slept every fight.

On any other night, Alvarez-Gaethje is a lock for FOTN. But IDK with that Oliveira/Medeiros fight. Just give it to them both. God knows the UFC has the money.

I graduated by the time Eddie was wrestling but knew who he was from wrestling in the philly/Delco area. Watched him in Bodog the ****ed my pants with his Dream performance.

People still dis him but it’s time to give the man his props. Eddie is the truth. Great career. ******* warrior!

Proud to have him rep the Illadelph!,

People are getting carried away with that fight it was good but his fight with Johnson was better and Alvarez vs porrier was better. This seems more of a predictable match to me that had no momentum swings as soon as Alvarez got going it was his fight

@SpudGreg Gaethje vs. Johnson is still my pick for FOTY.

All I got to say is Alvarez is lucky him and barboza won’t fight since their at the same gym. Am I the only one who thinks pettis will win this. His sweeps tricky guard and cejudos lack of top control will be a factor here he also adapts well as a fight goes on

Think Cejudo will use that wrestling to get the W tonight would be smart to atleast though his striking was phenomenal last time out

It shouldn’t be a disputed decision benavides clearly took rounds 2 and 3. Cejudo also turned down the rematch he should not get the next shot if he wins

Cejudo has got power for 125 and pettis has been cracked before. I just don’t see him keeping pettis down or even pettis threatening with a gullotine

after two FOTY candidates this one feel like a snoozefest, even though I don't think it's really that bad.

It is that bad. When cejudo isn’t the better striker you can be sure as hell it will be a boring fight since he doesn’t have much of a top game
