    The guy failed on the first 2 attempts for the backflip at the end of the fight. Pushed the guy walking in the octagon to dry his hands off and went for it again. Nailed it. This pretty much sums up Gaethje as a person. If he's able to walk, he's going for it.

    8:46 really feels like a big momentum shift. Michael hits Justin with some really big shots, but Justin just instantly starts walking him down again. As Michael takes a deep breath and retreats back toward the cage again, I almost sense a feeling of dread from Michael, like "I've hit this guy with everything I've got, how is he still coming?". Then it turns out to be the beginning of the end for Michael. This fight never gets old, all-time classic.

    Can’t hate on Johnson, absolutely amazing fighter. You gotta understand, he could fuck up any man on the planet. But in that octagon he’s fighting monsters, no shame in any loss. Guy throws hit heart out just to get some hate from men who couldn’t handle two jabs.
