None with the insane consistency of Gaethje. When he fights, it's as close as 100% as possible that it's going to be exciting.

Agree. He is the closest we have ever gotten to that level of consistency. He fought Johnson, Alvarez, Poirier, Vick, & Barboza. None of them went the distance. Definition of kill or be killed.

Your list of exciting fighters are s---...no surprise there except for Lytle decent pull there. You really need to go back a generation further.
He's basically a throwback to the big D swinging HW's of old. I think that for the UFC the best analogous fighter would be Don Frye who went 10-1 with all 11 fights being awesome. You could also compare him to Fedor...because how many dull fights was Fedor ever in.

Funny you'll call me a dork when you clearly just listed the guys you have a whales boner for (Condit, Silva, Diaz boys) they all had stinkers here and there never with the consistency of Gaethje.
Gaethje, Matt Brown, Chris Lytle, Paul Taylor, Phil Baroni, and Frank Shamrock etc.
But really Gaethje is peerless right now in UFC history

Baroni has been in some crap fights. C'mon now.
I also dont think Faber should be in this discussion.
Props for the Paul Taylor shout out.
How you guys failed to mention Pele Landi though..

I'm not really counting 2nd run Baroni I'm talking about the first Baroni run.
Stout/Lindland/Suloev/Menne/Lindland/Tanner/Tanner/Smith
Were any of those fights bad? Because I seem to recall him being complete money during those early years

Justin has a lot more tools than some people think. He’s a 2 time state champion and division 1 All American wrestler. Great chin, heavy hands, solid kicks, relentless pressure. The man uses his wrestling to stay vertical, but that doesent mean he cannot use his wrestling when the time comes. Could potentially be a interesting one for Khabib somewhere down the road. I agree with what he said about Cerrone jumping him in the rankings, after beating one person that’s ranked 15th. Especially after beating two guys in Vick and Barboza that’s in the top 10. Crazy.
