Justin Gaethje is never going to apologize for the way he fights—but he is planning to make a few adjustments ahead of his Aug. 25 scrap vs. James Vick at UFC Fight Night 135 in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Mauricio Rua got a fight, Glover Teixeira got a replacement opponent, and several top prospects fulfilled their dreams and got signed to the biggest promotion on earth, the UFC.

The UFC lightweight division is a mess. 

Justin Gaethje may be coming off the first loss of his professional career, but he already has his next target in mind. The former World Series of Fighting lightweight champion wants to throw hands with Kevin Lee, and there appears to be a bit of substance to his cause.

Justin Gaethje and Eddie Alvarez turned in a Fight of the Year contender Dec. 2 at UFC 218 in Detroit. 

There were a lot of high-profile bouts on the card at UFC 218, but none as hotly anticipated by fight fans as Eddie Alvarez vs. Justin Gaethje. The singular reason for this being so was the potential for the violence that could be created in Detroit, and both men made sure the scrap lived up to the hype.

The UFC 218 weigh-ins are over, and everybody made weight. 

In a business commonly referred to as the fight game, Dustin Poirier puts his emphasis on the most important term in the combination and drops the latter. It’s all about the fight where he’s concerned — the games are better left to other players.
