Makes sense. I'd have Gaethje take some time off, then he can fight Lee after Lee fights Chiesa in Detroit. .
nikka Chiesa ain't getting no rematch :camby:

Y'all just saying Lee cause he's fresh on the mind and other guys haven't fought. Gaethe don't deserve Lee, or Barboza or Tony.

Give his ass Eddie Alvarez, give Lee Barboza and book fukking Tony vs Khabib again

Dana threw a hissy fit over Yamasaki's decision, so there's a chance it'll happen

Poirier and Alvarez are talking shyt over their last fight so they might fight again.

I honestly don't care who Gaethje fights next, he's been pretty entertaining so far. Just let him have a break til December or January - those punches he took were vicious

Dana just hates Yamasaki but he also said Lee dominated Chiesa and got robbed of a highlight finish and when the reporter asked about a rematch Dana said there's nothing more there we need to see

Man that could've been a great win for Johnson. He was really close to winning that. Justin Gaethje did his thing but hes gonna end up getting KOed regularly like Melvin Manhoef.

Btw is it me or did they bump heads in the first minute or two of the fight?

Johnson could've won that easily by staying on the outside and using footwork, he was right there for Justin to hit. He showed immense heart and a granite chin tho. Throw Gaethje in with Eddie Alvarez or Kevin Lee next. Conor is tied up, Nate is MIA, seems like they still plan on Khabib vs Ferguson, it makes the most sense.

Lol at no thread for last night's show

:ld:About diakese, ppl were really letting Teemu fight go to their heads he sux. And what is it with these new breed of douchebags. 1st alquinta, then Perry now this klose guy?

Don't really understand why one would leave a situation where they are the champ just to be a perennial mid tierer Angela hill is not a contender and never will be.And how do you look worse against this no name than Andrade:why:

First gadelha now Torres with an RNC finish, crazy year for SW bores.Why is everyone calling for waterson again, didn't she just lose?

Cannonier represented himself well I guess but he's basically manuwa level, maybe worse.

Wanted Johnson to atone for the khabib fight by maiming this cac but the inbred trash talk just felt too much like bullying. Great fight though could be FOTY for all I care.

Good show, wouldn't surprise me if it's better than the ppv

The way Gaethje lowers his head leaning forward to defend is catered to people like Johnson who don't get the concept of space. I'm surprised Johnson did get knocked out by Gaethje's head all those times he was rushing in to hit dude. Gaethje can not defend like that against any legitmate striker. Let him fight Chisea or Alvarez. Shoot let him fight Porier

Main event was a great fight :ehh:. Gaethje was one of the few fighters in WSOF I actually looked forward to watching, cool to see him come over to the UFC with the same style. His chin is going to go eventually, but right now he is entertaining as hell to watch :wow:. Can't remember if Barbosa has a fight booked, but like that as a possible next match-up.

Klose calling all English fighters bums :mjlol:, no disrespect to Michael Bisping though :skip:

Tecia Torres getting the early sub :leon:
