Fighter Focus: Justin Gaethje, Khabib vs. Ferguson Resume Retrospective, and more - a podcast by The Athletic

As a return to fighting at UFC 249 fast approaches, Shaun andChuck dedicate this episode to the two men headlining the event, Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje.
First, the guys take a look back at three of Justin Gaethje’s most important fights, a Lightweight title defense against Luis Palomino at WSOF 19, his UFC debut against Michael Johnson at the TUF 25 Finale, and his first professional loss to Eddie Alvarez at UFC 218, and discuss what each of these bouts taught us about “The Highlight” both in the moment and in retrospect.Then, the guys compare and contrast the records of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson to determine who has the better resume, as well as decide if an “El Cucuy” victory over Justin Gaethje next week changes the equation at all.
