Justin Gaethje is the new ‘Baddest Motherf*****’ in the UFC.
‘The Highlight’ sensationally knocked Dustin Poirier out cold with a second-round head kick to secure the best win of his career at UFC 291.
The first round suggested MMA fans may be in for another Fight of the Year contender when Poirier and Gaethje rematched for the BMF belt.
They first fought in 2018, and on that occasion, Poirier picked up a TKO win after four rounds of memorable back-and-forth action at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
However, Gaethje refused to get into another war with ‘The Diamond’ who he peppered with brutal leg kicks for much of their rematch in Salt Lake City.
In the second frame, ‘The Highlight’ sent one of his kicks upstairs and managed to put Poirier to sleep even though he got his hand up to block it.
