Justin Gaethje doesn’t just want to be exciting, he wants to ‘be the best in the world’

There’s no doubt that, after just three fights under the UFC banner, Justin ‘The Highlight’ Gaethje is already one of the most exciting fighters on the roster.

After a Fight of the Night (FOTN) classic with Michael Johnson in his promotional debut, Gaethje was awarded with two more FOTN bonuses at UFC 218 and UFC on FOX 29, but lost the latter fights to Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier.

The former World Series of Fighting lightweight champion will now look to do battle with budding prospect James Vick, who called Gaethje ‘the Homer Simpson of MMA’ at the UFC’s 25th anniversary press conference.
