Thus, he absolutely shocked the world of combat sports when he finished and stopped Tony El Cucuy Ferguson. He did suffer some adversity in the initial rounds, with Tony being particularly quick and snappy in the first round and brutally stunning and rocking him at the end of the second round with an uppercut. Gaethje has revealed that he does not even remember fighting the first round because Tony completely smoked him.

Justin Gaethje came in as heavy betting underdog when he stepped into the octagon to fight Tony ‘El Cucuy’ Ferguson in the main event of UFC 249. Gaethje then bamboozled fight fans all across the globe with a stunning performance in which he brutalized Ferguson with some heavy shots that would have put anybody else completely out. In the fifth and final round, a bloodied Ferguson was again hit by big punches by Justin as referee Herb Dean stepped in to stop the fight.

I don’t remember the first round. I thought he f**king smoked me.
