It might have been short, but the main event of UFC Philadelphia delivered what was expected. After tagging Edson Barboza early into the first round, Justin Gaethje pressured his opponent and managed to score a one-punch KO just a few minutes later, at the two-minute mark. On Twitter, pro fighters enjoyed the match.
