UFC lightweight standouts Eddie Alvarez and Justin Gaethje finally faced each other at UFC 218 early this month. Alvarez won the Fight of the Night bout via third-round knockout and proclaimed himself to the “Most Violent Fighter” in the UFC.
From his end, Gaethje is not bothered by the first loss on his professional record. In fact, he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I’m glad I got knocked out instead of going to a decision and losing because that’s not the way I want to lose,” Gaethje said in an interview on MMA Tonight on SiriusXM Rush (transcript via MMA Fighting).
