Justin Gaethje says he’s signed with the UFC, calls out Edson Barboza

Former World Series of Fighting lightweight champion Justin Gaethje appears to finally be UFC bound. Having entered free agency (or was he ever a free agent, Ray Sefo?) following his December win over Luiz Firmino, the undefeated Gaethje wrote on his Twitter account that he’s signed a contract with the UFC.

@ufc Lets C one of the "big league boys" put me to sleep. I want the scariest lightweight possible first. This 0 has to go! Contract signed
