Well, who do you give Gaethje next? He's making a pretty ******* good case for a title shot.

One thing I've noticed in the replays of this KO and the KO of Vick, is that Trevor Wittman doesn't react at all when the KO happens.

Justin Gaethje is the most fun fighter in the history of the sport. Is he the best fighter I've ever seen? No. Do I care? No. I'm gonna find a way to watch him fight every time he fights. 

Gaethje vs. Cerrone or Ferguson or winner/loser of Holloway/Poirier or Oliveira all sound like fun fights!

Glad Emmett won. I felt he was being highly underestimated.

@ Random 31% o0f the Tap community backed him, he was  even odds with the bookies, and really he would have lost if Johnson had done the cheese thing and just stayed on the outside for the last 40 seconds or whatnot, so y'know... not highly underestimated, anyway.

Glad he won by KO/TKO though, paid for some of my ****tier bets.

I thought Holland lost. That fight was ridiculously sloppy and kinda hard to score I guess though. Holland’s hips were terrible. They were never in the right place grappling and he constantly conceded positions because of it. Borg was flat out robbed. That decision was as bad as it gets.
