Justin Gaethje is one of the most violent and aggressive fighters in MMA history.
Now, he's got a belt to prove it.
The 34-year-old, who fights with the incredibly apt nickname "The Highlight," returned to action in the main event of Saturday's UFC 291 card in Salt Lake City, taking on a fellow former interim lightweight champion in Dustin Poirier.
It was an opportunity for redemption for Gaethje (24-4), who suffered a TKO loss to Poirier (29-7) when they first met back in 2018, and this time, the UFC's special "BMF" title was hanging in the balance.
