The fans inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, and all the rest watching live on ESPN, were witness to an incredible two-plus minutes of striking action Saturday night at UFC on ESPN 2.
Justin Gaethje and Edson Barboza promised to bring it and they did, with Gaethje connecting and ending the fight with a big right-hand. Leg kicks and other potentially fight-ending strikes were landed, but it was the former World Series of Fighting champion coming out the winner.
