The guy failed on the first 2 attempts for the backflip at the end of the fight. Pushed the guy walking in the octagon to dry his hands off and went for it again. Nailed it. This pretty much sums up Gaethje as a person. If he's able to walk, he's going for it.

8:46 really feels like a big momentum shift. Michael hits Justin with some really big shots, but Justin just instantly starts walking him down again. As Michael takes a deep breath and retreats back toward the cage again, I almost sense a feeling of dread from Michael, like "I've hit this guy with everything I've got, how is he still coming?". Then it turns out to be the beginning of the end for Michael. This fight never gets old, all-time classic.

was always a Liddell guy but Gaethje overtook him in my personal list of favorite fighters.

I will forever respect Michael Johnson for stepping in there and throwing down with JG. These guys went straight at it as soon as the round 1 started.

Best debut in UFC history. This fight let us know what we were in store for and every fight since has been more of the same.

Michael Chandler starching Hooker was pretty impressive, that got him a title shot in fight 2.

@@dowutado No doubt but this one was just epic and had bad blood and was like nothing I think we ever saw in the UFC. This is a young dangerous Johnson, fast with power and Justin broke him and then was crazy enough after being clocked like he had couldn't half walk straight to do that backflip off the wall. You knew this guy was something different. Crazy.

Silva vs Leben in the title eliminator was imo the best debut ever.

You can see what’s gotta be Johnson’s sister in the background at the 10:15 second mark going through a terrible time.

Amazing fight! I have much respect and love for them both. Once I heard from a professional boxer you gotta respect every man that steps into a cage, since they are risking their life to give a show. That's entirely true. ❤❤

Gaethje litteraly goth eye-poked at 0:50 and didn't called for anything and simply continued to march toward Johnson. Tough guy

Gaethje is like a boss level zombie. He gets stunned and just keeps walking towards him

Sadly gaethje doesn't get the respect and credit he deserves. His ability to take a million powerful punches and stand still and end MJ like that with few punches and knees is insane man wow. Every fight he's in is amazing.
