    The 27-year old WSOF Lightweight Champion, who trains out of Grudge in Colorado, moved to 16-0 tonight with a first round TKO of Brian Foster. It is the second fight Gaethje has won with leg kicks. Gaethje is likely to face former UFC lightweights Jason High or Mike Ricci next. He's making the case that he's the best fighter outside of the UFC at the moment.

    Gaethje has been suspended by the Colorado SAC for doing a backflip off the cage after winning. Apparently they asked him not to prior to the event.

    Are you fucking serious?

    LOL! That is the greatest reason to be suspended I've ever seen!

    ffs, what the hell is the issue with jumping off the cage? Was it so poorly put together it may have fallen apart? If he flips of there and injures himself it's his own damn fault... if that was their concern.

    idiotic suspension.

    His suspension has been lifted.

    Probably would've been better off just giving him a warning.
