Uninteresting fight. Justin Gaethje defeated opponents 2 that lost somewhere around 4 of their last 5 (James Vick and Edson Barboza), and then Cowboy fought Gaethje literally one month after getting destroyed by Ferguson. Interestingly enough, people flaunt Cowboy as a gigantic win for both Conor and Justin even though he is a walking carcass by now.
Still, it would be somewhat engrossing to see which overrated fighter is better than the other. I say Conor, because he calmly defeated Alvarez and Poirier while Gaethje was not only pushed to his limits, but defeated. I realize MMA Math is generally wrong, but here, it is two opponents rather than one.
Unfortunately, as a result of this fight, people will overrate Conor McGregor even more. Since he will likely defeat Justin Gaethje, who is being paraded in these forums as a terminator (despite having been destroyed by Alvarez and Poirier, and then having defeated three carcasses), McGregor will be rated higher than he is.
Which, make no mistake, defeating Gaethje is a feat - if I were to rate him from 1 to 10, I would say Gaethje is an 8, so Conor defeating him makes him a 9; however, people here regard Gaethje as a 9, so in their minds, that would make Conor a 10.
