UFC on ESPN: Gaethje vs. Barboza results and post-fight analysis

For the most part, UFC Philadelphia was not a very good card. Even some of the fights that had finishes were tedious to sit through. It’s not like there were a slew of awful bouts per se, but I know what I was watching wasn’t particularly captivating high-level MMA.

...But you know who is really good and extremely violent and never tedious to watch? Justin Gaethje. He walloped Edson Barboza in two-and-a-half minutes. Gaethje was poised, sharp, and Barboza for the most part was overwhelmed. Barboza is a tough guy to render unconscious, and Gaethje did just that with a giant right hand that had the Brazilian out cold.
