I don't like Vick, he rubbed me the wrong way at the press conference last week. I hope Gaethje fights SMART and uses his wrestling as an offensive tool, too! C'mon man...you're better than a lot of the fighters you've lost to. Side bar, am I the only one who finds the tagline for the poster ridiculously cheesy?

So after the fight was stopped, doctors around, Vick on the stool, he attempted to shoot on Gaethje when he came over to shake his hand. That is a bad KO.
The scoring in the 2 split decisions is just weird. Sometimes you wonder if all 3 judges were watching the same fight.
