Justin Gaethje scored perhaps the most impressive victory of his career last month when he knocked out Edson Barboza with a wicked first-round punch at UFC Philadelphia.
The win gave Gaethje back-to-back knockouts following a similar performance last August against James Vick — and in today’s UFC climate, where the manner an athlete wins is just as important as whether they win at all, “The Highlight” knows he may have set himself up for a big opportunity in his next outing at 155 pounds.
“I think a win like that, man — it’s all about how you win nowadays,” Gaethje said recently on The MMA Hour.
