This fight was a guaranteed sellout as it featured two of the best and most violent lightweights in the division. However, the bout played out under unconventional and rather controversial circumstances.

Oliveira missed weight and as a result, he was stripped of the championship, which made the title vacant. However, Gaethje was eligible to win the belt had he won the fight that night.

Justin Gaethje recalled his experience inside the octagon with ‘do Bronx’. He detailed how hard Charles hits which he could not anticipate before going into the fight. While conversing with the media at UFC 278, Justin stated:

“Yeah, I mean, it’s a feeling. It’s a feeling I’ve never felt.”

“Usually you get hit, call it buzz, call it a flash. This is more like my tongue just went on a super powerful battery and just my entire body- it was crazy. So yeah, it was perfect shots, you know, perfect time. One or the other and yeah. It was the factors that I faced that night”, Justin concluded.

‘The Highlight’ failed to capitalize on his opportunity as he lost via a rear-naked choke submission by Oliveira. But clearly, he had underestimated Oliveira’s power and his skill set.
