The UFC’s 155lbs division, lightweight has long been one of the most exciting divisions in the sport. From BJ Penn to Frankie Edgar, from Benson Henderson to the modern-day champions, Eddie Alvarez or Conor McGregor, it’s always been a division that has delivered competitive, exciting, PPV-worthy fights. No one accentuates the excitement of the division like Justin Gaethje.
The former WSOF lightweight champion joined the UFC back in 2017 and has never looked back. Nine post-fight bonuses, two fight of the years and two unsuccessful title shots have seen Gaethje hit a crossroads in his career.
