Justin Gaethje: I Said I Was Going to Break Him... I Broke Him
Спорт
Justin Gaethje had a chip on his shoulder coming into his Octagon debut opposite Michael Johnson at The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale. As the former World Series of Fighting lightweight champion and sporting an undefeated record, he felt he was the best 155-pound fighter in the world. His only problem was that he never had the opportunity to prove it against those he considered the other top fighters on the planet.
At the TUF 25 Finale, he finally had the opportunity to prove it, and he did. In his distinctive style, Gaethje fought back from the brink to take out Johnson in spectacular fashion.
After the fight, Gaethje addressed the media talking not only about the fight, but also about his path to the Octagon and where he feels he fits in the world's top mixed martial arts organization.

"I'm glad my momma didn't have tickets." -Michael Johnson
How can anyone hate on this guy? He's as real as it gets. He even says himself he will probably get KO'd sooner or later but if you don't knock him out he'll keep pressing forward applying that pressure. I love how he fights and how he carries himself. I've been a fan for a while and I hope he goes on to big things.

Yissayah Halalwayah he pressured the entire fight landed those leg kicks ate MJ's hardest shots and eventually hurt MJ. This fight was 0% about luck. Gaethje brought more pressure than Michael Johnson could handle and eventually he succumbed to that pressure. Additionally if you look at what both men said during the build up to this fight and then at how it played out despite losing the rounds whose fight was being fought? Gaethjes. So call it how it was; Gaethje broke MJ after a valiant effort by the latter.

So it's lucky that Justin landed an uppercut that Michael couldn't recover from after going to war for 2 rounds, but Michael's shots were all 100% skill and meant to land exactly where they did? lol Justin beat the shit out of Michael and was obviously the stronger man. Not only did he make Michael quit, he beat him so badly that his body couldn't even respond lol. Michael landed a couple of good shots, but his face, legs, and body are battered! Justin is a fucking warrior! Until the fight is over, it doesn't matter who won a round because Justin KO'd Michael lol.

I’ve been said this, just the way Justin was fighting in the other leagues. All UFC has is fresh fighters outta camp, family members, friends and some Official Champions, but Justin will definitely be an Official Champ, especially coming from another league. If anything ONE and Bellator has some of the best fighters in the world.
Uhmm.... much respect to you. man! it's always a different story altogether about what you've heard about a certain individual from here say than actually hearing the individual speak for themselves! All the Best! 👍

I love this dude! I wish all guys would fight as often and as hard as this guy. You can just tell he doesn't have any quit in him and that he isn't running from anybody. To many guys in the UFC turn down fights that should be fighting and building their fanbase. Khabib and Ferguson should have already fought since their last missed opportunity when Khabib missed weight. That's was awhile ago and Ferguson turned down the opportunity to fight Michael Johnson on at same night same night anyways. You think Justin would have turned down a fight? Don't think so!

The warrior Gaethje could bring the honor back to the UFC that Conor stole by making it all about money. Gaethje reminds me of old champions, Liddell, Severn, Silva, Sakuraba, Happy to see a fighter like this that won't make money the main game plan. He will fight, he will battle, and he will be loved for it.
was legit when everyone was chanting gaethje! gaethje!

Justin works hard and everything, but he was just born tough.

He literally said he would break Tony after his first fight in the UFC and he did exactly that and no one says anything about this but if Conor predicts one fight successfully he's "mystic Mac" Smfh.
is he irish
this nigga stood him up like three times. He wanted that KO
I'm glad Justin beat the s*** out of him after he made those classless comments about his family.
and Tony tweeted after this that he hits like a bitch and wasn't on his level, well Justin must have remembered that and he sure made Tony eat his words.
Yes he a "promoter's wet dream," an opponents worst nightmare....Unless u knock him out quick which isn't easy.
justin said he will lose - im not sure about that lol
