UFC 254 is just around the corner, and anticipation could not be much higher.
Most of the anticipation for the card, which goes down this Saturday on “Fight Island,” stems from the main event: a lightweight title fight between undisputed champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and interim champion Justin Gaethje.
You know that old quandary about the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object? It tends to get applied to mixed martial arts bouts a little too often, but in this case, it could not sum things up more succinctly.
If ever there was a seemingly unstoppable force in MMA, it’s the 2020 iteration of Gaethje: a veritable typhoon of violence, seemingly incapable of doing anything but destroy.
