Justin Gaethje captured the interim UFC lightweight championship via a fifth-round TKO win over Tony Ferguson to close out UFC 249 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
This is easily the biggest win of The Highlight's UFC career. After starting his UFC run out by losing two of his first three, the former World Series of Fighting champion now has four straight wins, the interim title and a win over the hottest lightweight in the division to not win the title.
Ferguson's winning streak was one of the most impressive in MMA.
