In one of the wildest fights of the year – and yet somehow just typical Justin Gaethje (17-0) – the WSOF lightweight champ retained his belt with a doctor’s stoppage of an incredibly game Luiz Firmino (19-8). The bout served as the main event of today’s WSOF 34, which took place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The main card aired on NBC following prelims on NBCSN and MMAjunkie. It was Firmino who rushed out at the opening bell and tried a quick attack, sending both men to the floor. But the position was a stalemate, and referee Dan Miragliotta brought them back to the feet. The madness ensued from there, as Firmino proved willing to go blow-for-blow with the hard-hitting Gaethje.
