I am seriously hoping Gaethje is as good as he says he is. Can't wait to see him fight

Johnson has the speed and skill to pick him apart. We'll see if he has the patience.

I think that's a good matchup for Gaethje. MJ likes trading hooks and using just the minimum amount of wrestling to keep people in check and it looks to me that Gaethje is just a little bit better at both areas. if it was a very technical striker or someone who could capitalize on Gaethje's level changes it could be dangerous but MJ is one of the best matchups I can think of.

Good fight to figure out where Gaethje is at. Barboza fight would've been more fun, but I could see Edson avoiding that kind of war against a prospect so close to a title shot. That would be the kind of fight where you leave with an injury no matter who wins. Johnson is a more economical striker so we'll see if he can outpace and outwork Gaethje.

I'm fkn pumped for this fight...To think that Johnson has beat both Barnoza and Ferguson will give us a good idea where Gaethje belongs..And I've said All along he's a Top 3 killer and WILL be Champion sooner or later..
