Barboza recently snapped a two-fight losing skid after defeating Dan Hooker via TKO in the third round at UFC on FOX 31 last December. Meanwhile, Gaethje also got back into a winning column after scoring a knockout win over James Vick last August.
Both lightweight strikers are known for their vicious strikes and knockout capabilities. Justin earned most wins via his leg kicks and hand usage, but Barboza gained a reputation of one of the most dangerous strikers in the UFC who scored victories from the use of body punch, body kick, head kick, leg kicks, and a flying knee.
Who do you think will emerge as a winner when two strikers will throw down?
