Justin Gaethje packs power.
The lightweight contender stopped veteran fighter Donald Cerrone in the first round of their main event bout at UFC Vancouver on Saturday night in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Gaethje’s performance was the highlight of the many memorable fights that night, including Glover Texeira’s impressive win over Nikita Krylov, Tristan Connelly’s upset victory over Michel Pereira, and much more.
Below is how the pros reacted to the action in Vancouver.

Good stoppage. What a show by the highlight. @Justin_Gaethje

Mannn new patient Gaethje is a nightmare for everyone!!
— Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) September 15, 2019
He can take a ridiculous amount of punishment. Cardio for days. Beats up your leg with brutal kicks which forces you to close the range where he has hands of stone that you have to watch out for.

The best Gaethje has ever fought and looked in my opinion. Usually fights reckless and tonight he fought smart and brutal

Conor vs Gaethje

Glover Teixeira vs. Nikita Krylov
That was the right call, IMO, but I could see why Krylov could have gotten a RD or 2 scored in his favor as well. https://t.co/vuXLLftd0b

You gotta love how the commentators are talking Glover up on how great of a fighter he is. But when someone mention that I beat him. Its "Glovers washed up!". Yet he's killing these young cats still....#UFCFightNight #ufc #putsomerespectonmyname
— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) September 15, 2019
That was a fun fight #UFCVancouver
— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) September 15, 2019
Glover Texeira fights like I wish I fought . Except he is actually good at martial arts...

Todd Duffee vs. Jeff Hughes
Great way to have the fight stopped by saying that.

How r you going to shake your head in disappointment after admitting to the doctor you are seeing double. I’ve seen double in most fights after getting rocked. NEVER would I admit to anybody that I wasn’t fine ♂️ #UFCVancouver
— Dennis Bermudez (@MenaceBermudez) September 15, 2019
I have a weird feeling in my stomach after that Todd Duffee fight ...
— Jordan Young (@Jaypressure205) September 15, 2019
I don’t judge but that didn’t look like a eye poke

— éS (@EricSpicely) September 15, 2019
Cirkunov/Crute was an excellent fight!!! Wow. Crazy scrambles and high level ground work from Mischa. Finishes with the Peruvian Necktie!
— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) September 15, 2019
The Peruvian Necktie is my favorite sub... I think it's because of the balls placement #UFCVancouver
