Justin took everything Vick said during the time leading up to their fight and literally shut him off with a single punch knockout. Gaethje kept a forward moving pressure from the opening seconds and made it look like a slug fest. Vick landed a clean body kick but Gaethje was unfazed and kept moving forward. Sensing there’s no room for Vick to throw a stirke as he moved backwards, Gaethje landed a thunderous over hand right and sent Vick crumbling to the mat. That was all it needed to end the fight.
