Nick Newell got the win

Romo Detector 2015 - Not "scrubs" but none of those fighters are UFC level. His record is padded. The one fighter who was legit destroyed him.

Also what a simplistic binary view on mma that gaethje is the “only legit” fighter on his record

Just because you’re not a contender in the ufc doesn’t mean your career isn’t legitimate

I agree 100%. My point is people saying he is 15-1. How many of those fighters are actual legit competition.

I know people from ATT who have trained with him who say he is decent especially having only one arm but no way near UFC level. I tend to take their opinion over a forum.

Why not have him fight a UFC veteran who is no longer in the organization and see how he does? Or have him win the LFA light weight title. Then UFC has no choice but to sign him.

He did what he has to do in fighting to get to the ufc... if he managed to go 14-1 vs solid opponents he’s earned it and if all those opponents are somehow hand picked so nick could beat them (lol) then his management is hall of fame

add in the element of his having one fucking arm you’d be a sucker not to sign him

nick vs cm punk?

No athletic commission would sanction that fight... 15-1 vs 0-1
