Tidigt under lördagsmorgonen avgjordes huvudmatchen på finalen av The Ultimate Fighter 25: Redemption, där vi vi se den obesegrade WSOF-mästaren Justin Gaethje kamma hem sin 18:e raka seger mot topp 5-rankade Michael Johnson.
UFC-debuten kunde inte ha gått mycket bättre för ”The Highlight”, som säkrade vinsten via teknisk knockout efter vad som blev en av årets mest underhållande matcher hittills.
