    Gaethje wants Khabib or Conor if he wins. I really hope he not overlooking Cowboy. I expect him to T/KO Cowboy but its a dangerous fight.

    Krylov might just put Glover out to pasture.

    Excited for this and then the big dude Tyson Fury fighting tomorrow night.

    Gaethje/Cerrone was short but still more exciting than almost any round this year.

    Give Gaethje his pay day or give him the winner of Khabib / Tony. Dude is a monster.

    It was you who said Gaethje was the divisions best bet to beat Khabib right? I'm starting to believe, because he is the one guy with the wrestling and aggression to pull it out.

    Yup, I believe Gaethje has the best skillset to upset Khabib. I still think Khabib would be a heavy favorite and would pick him to win; but I think it would be a Weidman-Silva type matchup. I really think Gaethje has the ability to pull the upset off.

    Gaethje is so much improved in his last 3 fights. He said that he watched Romero fight and wanted to fight like that after. Paraphrasing it, but it was something like..nothing happened for three rounds and then boom Romero exploded. Gaethje is turning into a counter striker and I love it. He isn't blocking shots with his head anymore; he's throwing leg kicks and making his opponent come into him and unloading vicious shots. I think pound for pound, he's the most violent and exciting fighter right now. He's a mini TRT Hendo.
