Gaethje’s path to victory played out exactly as written. Was patient, then sucked him into a war. That terrain was familiar territory for Gaethje, but not Ilia.
As somebody who has had their rib broken in a professional capacity before.
This knee is what ended the fight.
I'm pretty sure he broke his rib.
It was a great shot by Gaethje.
And a smart choice by Taporia to call it.
