Justin Gaethje walked away the biggest winner of UFC 249 with a stunning fifth-round TKO win over Tony Ferguson to capture the interim lightweight championship in the main event.
The highly anticipated interim title fight promised fireworks and didn't disappoint. Gaethje continued his new measured approach while still channeling the violence that has made him a fan favorite. He remained the aggressor against one of the most dangerous fighters in his division, El Cucuy.
Ferguson responded in kind with counterstrikes of his own, but it was Gaethje who had the upper hand.
