Over the course of two and a half minutes, Gaethje did exactly what he set out to do and finished Cavalcante, putting himself on the map in the process. “I was excited for the opportunity to be on national television and fight a guy who was well-known and show the people that I really do belong with everybody else and that I can hold my own and that I’ve been working on my skills,” said Gaethje. “That was the game plan going in was to pressure him and make him feel uncomfortable, and that’s what I did.” While Gaethje made Cavalcante uncomfortable in their fight, he told MMAWeekly.com that he was very at ease at the event thanks to the way the WSOF treated him. “It’s an awesome company,” said Gaethje. “It’s obviously the biggest platform I’ve been on. They’re trying to do a big thing and they’re taking care of the fighters and that’s the most important part.” Gaethje’s return to the WSOF on Friday looks to be a match-up of fighters with equal skillsets as he is slated to take on former UFC fighter Brian “Bandit” Cobb.

While Cobb’s layoffs haven’t been by design, he’s been using the time off to his benefit. “If anything, with technology the way it is nowadays, people can watch all my fights online. So with the longer layoff between fights, I can do things to change up from what I did in my previous fights,” said Cobb. “I can really pose different problems for the next fight than what they saw in my previous fight.
