FOTY contender for sure. I like him but he gets hit too much. He's a brutal KO waiting to happen. Too many good strikers in the division.
Looks an abominable snowman, but unless he's Jake Lamotta, he'll die tomorrow. Michael Johnson ought to continue to be used as a gatekeeper, he's got the hands to filter any shit lucky to make it to the fringe.
I thought he was going to miss the landing after the missed tries to jump to the top of the cage. Gaethje believes in himself 100%. He hasn't been proven wrong yet since he hasn't lost yet. He looks like he could beat anyone on a good night, but I don't think he'll stay undefeated in the UFC. I hope he keeps fighting this way. All or nothing.
Just Got Around to This... Most Fan Friendly MMA Bout REED's Seen in 2017, for Certain...Brought REED Out of his Seat on 2-3 Occasions.... Gaethje's TOUGH as Fuck, STRONG and Has Good SIZE for the Division (That, or Johnson is SMALL for the Weight), but he'll HAVE to Tighten Up that D Quite a Bit, to Truly Threaten the ELITE...Dude Seemed to Be OUT on his Feet a Couple Times, but Credit for RECOVERING Quickly... If Matched Properly, Gaethje Could Be a Marketable, PPV Co-Headlining Type of Fighter...He's Got Some Robbie Lawler in Him and Could Similarly Build a Fanbase/Reputation on the QUALITY of his Fights... REED was Glad to See Jesse Taylor "Redeem" Himself by Winning the TUF Finale...His STORY Resonates; Recovering DIPSHIT, Matured MEAT HEAD, Who's Made GOOD of Himself...Most People CAN'T Get Out of their Own Way and Never Bounce Back from Blowing an Opportunity like Taylor did, Years Ago... But Dude Stayed the Path, Cleaned Himself Up a Bit, BELIEVED In Himself and Now he's Finally Made it to the UFC... Sure, Taylor's Style is Basic, but REED's NEVER Seen a Guy Make Basic WORK for Him as Taylor Has...Granted, it's Only Been Against TUF Opposition, but Taylor's Ran Thru EVERYBODY Put In his Path, Over 2 Full Seasons, and Beat Them All Similarly... Jesse's STRONG as Fuck @ 170, and 1nce he's Got Hands On You, You're NOT Getting Away...And Instead of Laying and Praying, Taylor's Trying to HURT You w/Elbows, G & P, Covering Your Mouf' So You Can't Breathe and Looking for All Kinds of Choke Finishes... He's 1 of the FEW Ground Oriented Fighters REED Actually LIKES Watching... Guys Keep Making the Mistake of HURTING/DROPPING Jesse Standing and RUSHING to Finish Him...Dude is Soooooooo Effective on the Ground, You're Gonna Need to Drop Him a FEW Times, Allowing Him to Get Up a FEW Times, Before Shooting In for the KILL... That's How James Krause and Dhiego Lima Fucked Up... REED
Not Only is Gaethje a KO Waiting to Happen, He's an ACL/MCL/PCL Injury Waiting to Happen, if he Persists w/the Backflips from atop the Cage... REED
