In the end, the former World Series of Fighting champion Gaethje came out on top in emphatic fashion, melting his rival with a blistering first-round punch.<\/p>\n<p>Given the bad blood between Gaethje and Vick, it should come as no surprise that this was a feel-good moment for the former. That said, Gaethje was quick to bury the hatchet with his rival post fight. After initially flipping him off, he approached Vick and gave him some props.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, \u2018It\u2019s what we do, man \u2013 it could have been me, it could have been you,&#8217;\u201d Justin Gaethje told <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2018\/08\/justin-gaethje-wants-ufc-business-meeting-after-james-vick-knockout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAjunkie<\/a> of his post-fight exchange with Vick. \u201cI don\u2019t want to (expletive) on that guy right now. He\u2019s going to (expletive) on himself enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to be true to yourself. If that is James, then (expletive) him. But I don\u2019t think he\u2019s that kind of guy. I\u2019m glad that I taught him a lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be hard for him to look himself in the mirror tomorrow. That was my plan. I want him to look at himself in the mirror tomorrow. He\u2019s not going to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While many fighters have callouts prepared after a big win, Gaethje doesn&#8217;t seem focused on his next fight at present. Instead, he&#8217;s interested in scheduling a meeting with the UFC, and on taking a well-deserved vacation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should get me a business meeting with the UFC,\u201d Gaethje said, speaking of the ramifications of his big win.\u00a0\u201cThe way I put it on the line, I need all my money up front. And that\u2019s how it should work for people like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve fought four times in 13 months \u2013 give me a break,\u201d he added \u201cI\u2019ve never been to Hawaii, I\u2019ve never been to Jamaica, I\u2019ve never bought a house.
