Sicc ass fight! Gaethje has the most entertaining style in the UFC not named Conor. I'd put him against alot of top competition just off pure heart. Glad to see an AZ boy get some real shine. Put him on the NYC card in a few months.
Another thing, what did Justin grab? Like 200k in his UFC debut? Lol sicc wit it.

Lee called him out. that one makes sense and its a dope match up, probably my favorite off your list. Barboza's the man but Gaethje will just pressure him and make his kicks useless. Ferguson hella blew off Lee after the Chiesa fight but he's down for Gaethje. Gaethje needs to take the closest fight to McGregor. if not, he was better off in WSOF/PFL as far as prize money, short term. McGregor would probably knock him out tho.
Bellator picked up Mousasi. Frank Mir was granted his release and tryna fight Fedor, so he's tryna go to Bellator. Bellator also picked up Mayday McDonald a couple months back after he was granted his release. you dont usually hear the UFC just letting fighters go cus they wanted it. Bellator needs to shake the Hulk Hogan voice guy and shake these old ass fighters. they're really starting to come up.
it wouldn't surprise me. i don't think many of the lw's can take too many of his punches. and he'll break that ass down with leg kicks. i'd like to see Lee's wrestling vs Gaethje's but Gaethje just seems hella stronger and uses his wrestling different. i think his biggest problem is Conor's left. Conor aint even got to feint to set the shit up. open all day. i think Nate and Cucuy got a good chance too. MJ had Gaethje chicken leggin twice but instead of lightin his ass up til a tko he went to grapple. Karolina K did the same thing against Joanna. fucked off a ko.

UFC actually signed one of their free agents for once and didn't let them walk to Bellator lol Joe Duffy just signed a 7 fight deal.
