What did we do to deserve Justin Gaethje? The Arizona native is the gift that just keeps giving. And just like in 2017, Gaethje was generous with his time, efforts and brain cells in service of our entertainment. For the second year in a row, he pulls double duty earning the round of the year within the fight of the year.
This time, the second half to the wonderful combination of tenacity and violent intensity was surging lightweight contender Dustin Poirier. Poirier is no stranger to the type of fire fight that gets those year-end nominations.
