Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight knockout artists Justin ‘The Highlight’ Gaethje (the former All-American wrestler turned tactical brawler), and Edson Barboza (who has a strong argument as the roster’s nastiest kicker; no one else has finished fights via leg, body and high kick) went to war TONIGHT (March 30, 2019) at UFC on ESPN 2 from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The co-main consisted of a middleweight event starring David ‘The Executive’ Branch who last fought Jared Cannonier on 19, October, 2018, where he lost the fight via TKO, versus Jack ‘The Joker’ Hermansson who won his last bout via guillotine choke submission in the 1st round, which was against Gerald Meerschaert December 15, 2018.
