Wow. Just wow. To get a highlight reel knockout of someone as tough as Justin Gaethje is spectacular. Gaethke never gets flatlined on the feet. He's the guy that will continue swinging for the hills, while stumbling all over the canvas, until the ref jumps in front of him. To get a knockout after deciding to slug it out during the last few seconds of the fight isn't uncommon but it's still badass. To flatline Justin Gaethje with one second left on the clock, after deciding to stand in the middle of the cage and slug it out, after you've already unquestionably 50-45'd him, is something so unfathomably badass, it sounds like fanfiction. Like Dana White said, it's like something out of a movie.
Jamahal Hill talked big shit for months about how he was going to KO the big Brazilian Boogeyman and beat him at his own game. Which he absolutely could've done. Alex can go to sleep if you hit him in the right place. And Jamahal has knockout power. But unfortunately, he didn't even make it out of the first round. I was rooting for him, because I always root against Pereira. Not because I don't like him. But because he always seems to be fighting guys I like more than him.
