Justin Gaethje smashed Donald Cerrone in the first round, thus putting himself in title contention.
A very significant win, to be sure, but it’s not just because of the rankings, or because of the opponent he beat, to be frank. Many fight fans believed the outcome would be the same every time, it’s just that nobody expected it to play out the way it did.
The outcome of this fight is huge because once again, Justin Gaethje, without taking any significant damage, knocked his man spark out in the first round, for the third time in a row.
