Justin Gaethje

Justin Gaethje is, bar none, the most reliably exciting fighter in UFC history — the guy you schedule your Friday night around because you know, without question, that something violent and memorable is going to happen. A decorated wrestler out of the University of Northern Colorado, he could grind opponents into dust on the mat, but instead he stands right in front of you and throws bombs with reckless, almost gleeful abandon. He's held the interim Lightweight title not once but twice — a first in UFC history — and claimed the BMF belt along the way, which honestly suits him better than any other man alive. Every single one of his fights feels like the last five minutes of a thriller, and he earned that reputation the hard way, chin first.
