UFC Lincoln post-fight bonuses: Gaethje’s lightning fast KO gets POTN honors

The Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska, was home to a fun night of fights, with six (T)KOs, three submissions, and four decisions, including two split-decisions.

Performances of the Night: Justin Gaethje and Eryk Anders

Justin Gaethje and James Vick was a fight with “action” written all over it. The UFC billed it as a fight between two guys with a combined 18 (T)KOs, but forgot to mention that 15 of those belonged to Justin Gaethje. Gaethje decided to remind everyone.

Just one minute into the fight, Gaethje slipped a left hand inside Vick’s guard as Vick circled along the cage, and followed it immediately with a huge overhand right that sparked Vick out cold.
