Michael Johnson vs Justin Gaethje

 

The TUF finale headliner promises to be an explosive affair, which could possibly see a quick finish and if we are lucky, could also end up being an all-out action-filled war.

 

Promotional newcomer Gaethje's reputation precedes him and rightfully so. He's got a unique style, very unorthodox but extremely basic and fun to watch as a fan. His famous line, “I block my opponent's punches with my head” is a succinct description of what you can expect when he fights. A complete move-forward brawler, Gaethje has effective leg kicks and a underrated wrestling game to complement his wild punching style. The hallmark of this young man's style is his pressure and ability to dictate where the fight takes place.

 

Johnson, just like his opponent, is known to get into a war when it isn't really necessary. But, more often than not, he ends up getting the better of his opponent, especially when the fight remains standing. The last guy to hand Fergusson a defeat inside the octagon, Johnson has some of the fastest hands in the division and can KO anybody on any given night. 

One other thing that's common for both guys is they both have terrific chins on them, which hasn't been compromised despite their frequent visits to Warville. It really may just come down to whose gives first and it really is anybody's guess rather than a pick based on a technical analysis of some sort.
