On the biggest stage he’s ever fought, Justin Gaethje showed why he goes by “The Highlight.”
Gaethje (18-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) overcame nearly being finished twice to storm back for a finish of his own, defeating Johnson (17-12 MMA, 9-8 UFC) via second-round TKO in one of the most memorable UFC debuts in history.
The lightweight bout headlined Friday’s UFC event, The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
