Light weight Justin gaethje will make his UFC debut this Friday (7), in the main fight of TUF Finale 25. One day before the fight against Michael Johnson, the North American was face to face with his opponent and tried to provoke him with his middle finger right after the face-off. Experienced, “The Menace” did not respond to the provocation.

After the confrontation, Gaethje, undefeated in MMA with 17 victories (14 by knockout) and former WSOF champion, threatened Johnson and criticized the stance of the number 5 in the UFC lightweight ranking.

“Look at him. This guy is a “poser”. He doesn't care about fighting. I am a fighter and his time has come. There are around 28 hours left before I finish you. Your time is coming,” declared Gaethje, directly to Johnson.

In other matches, the friendly atmosphere was the keynote, including in fights involving Brazilians. Dhiego Lima, who competes in the TUF 25 final against Jesse Taylor, greeted his opponent effusively, as the two were from the same team (from TJ Dillashaw), during the reality show. Juliana Lima also had no problems when dealing with Tecia torres. Marcel Fortuna, who will make his UFC light heavyweight debut after a knockout victory at heavyweight in his first fight, also faced Jordan Johnson on a friendly basis.
