These days, there aren’t many non-UFC fighters worth watching every time they compete, but Justin Gaethje is quickly becoming one of the few.
Only 26 years old, he has already defended his WSOF championship twice, with those wins coming against UFC veteran Melvin Guillard and Nick Newell. Having beaten Guillard, who has 12 UFC wins on his resume, Gaethje has already proved he’s UFC-ready.
Luis Palomino should be another steppingstone on Gaethje’s path toward stardom, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be worth tuning in to see this rising phenom develop. WSOF is going to hold onto him as long as it can, but it seems inevitable that Gaethje will eventually make his way to the big show.
