A list of the most exciting UFC fights wouldn’t be complete without including ‘The Highlight’ himself. Justin Gaethje. Gaethje capped off an epic night of fighting in The Ultimate Fighter 25 season finale, which saw Jesse Taylor defeat Dhiego Lima to become The Ultimate Fighter, in a fight against Michael Johnson.
10 seconds in the first lap, Johnson already landed a huge left hand stunning Gaethje, and from there both athletes slugged it out until only one man was left standing. Lasting just under two rounds, those nine minutes of fireworks earned UFC Fight of the Year honors, an award Gaethje has since won a second time in 2021 for his battle against Michael Chandler. at Madison Square Garden.
