I’m only a casual fan but I have to imagine that’s one of the best fights ever

I really don't know what Goddard was doing after the 3rd round. Doctor said he can't continue and he just overruled him


I’m so glad we got an extra round that fight was amazing

But that doctor should never be ringside again

No one can ever predict the fight game. I thought he could match him for a couple of rounds, but instead he throttled him. USA!!

Including the odds, the setting, and the fighters involved? Yeah probably so

Yes but these types of fights are pretty common in the ufc.

Topuria’s whole character/mystique/shtick is gone.

Agreed. It's the doctor's job to protect the fighter from himself and tonight that doctor failed. It hurts the doctor's case that he immediately said no after the eye tracking test. The doctor immediately knew he couldn't track and said now.

I could give some leeway if it was ambiguous and took the doctor a few seconds to think about it, but he knew immediately.

After this, there’s no better way to cap off a career

No way Gathje retires after this one. Go make your money now.

He is way too small for lightweight even though he can beat a lot of guys on skill. Islam would fricking wreck him at 155 and it would be laughable at 170

I thought Gaethje was def done after the body shots in the second round, not sure why Ilia didn’t finish him off then instead of going for the submission.

Gotta feel like yes a KO is badass, but when you beat a guy’s arse so badly that he has to throw the towel, you gotta feel like like you completely fricked your opponent up.

I stayed up way too late but this was awesome! What a way to cap off the event with that fight.

Right. Topuria will likely get an immediate rematch and finish him in the first round before Justin can build momentum
