Gaethje is going to finish Johnson brutally.
johnson never ko'd (devil's advocate?) & gaethje no defensive fighting hehe
I've never seen someone at LW hit as hard as Gaethje the amount of force he produces is stupid. Johnson is good, he's no scrub but Gaethje will be fine being in the pocket with him. If Johnson tries to dance on the outside Gaethje will chop the legs. I also don't think Johnson defense is very good so there's that too.
Johnson is a southpaw for what it's worth. Wasn't kicked much by Barboza though it was a much different match-up and has showed a good chin so far.
Johnson is a turtle on his back though. I know Justin doesn't choose to wrestle often but I feel if he gets the worst of the standup, he's gonna put MJ on his back the rest of the fight.
I'm not just going of the Khabib fight because Khabib can do that to 99% of all lightweights.
MJ couldn't do anything on his back versus Jury, castillo for a round, and anyone who put him on his back.
I favor Justin here but wouldn't bet him as a big favorite.
reckon pick 'em is plausible for tavares/theodorou?
MJ is getting KO'd
Guys, remember the golden rule of champs coming into the UFC. Ilkke gaethje as much as everyone who lives violence but the level of opponents do matter.
