Media Justin Gaethje reveals he had a concussion before Oliveira fight "That's why his strikes were so effective"

[Joinho10]

I don't know if I believe him, seems like insane copium

Everyone is using the Ronda excuse

 

[Marko Polo]

Why would I think he’s lying? It serves no purpose. Probably kept it to himself for so long because of people saying it’s an excuse. Reasons =\= Excuses

Probably because he gets hurt in every fight and the Charles fight isn't some outlier.

Why did he wait 2 years to leak this tho?

 

[Fatback96]

Then don’t fight…?

How does this sound:
“I broke my back before the fight, that’s why I lost”

Definitely don't think he is lying. I just think The strikes Oliveira landed were effective BECAUSE they were clean as hell and placed to perfection.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

After that fight and Gaethje low fight IQ i considered him to be a lw tank abbot.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Everyone is using the Ronda excuse

For real -- she really opened Pandora's box with that bollocks lol

 

[El Panteron]

He's not even close to being one of the dumbest guys on the roster.

Eh that's not saying much at all

 

[Pechan]

I expect sherdoggers to have the same reaction as with Ronda.

 

[Dr. Rose]

True, Gaethje has been hit harder and it was not as effective as Oliveira.

 

[svmr_db]

He's brought up the bike accident before, I think there could be some validity to it.

 

[Skarsgard]

Or Charles just hits like a fucking truck and is an offensive terror.

 

[Duke Kensington]

at first he said he lost because of roses horrible fight with Carla before and now it’s a concussion.

That night Charles got the better of him I don’t get the issue. Maybe he feels embarrassed that he called Charles a quitter in the build up and he ended up tapping

I heard Tito lost all those fights because his skull was broken.

Then don’t fight…?

[Dr. Rose]

And I don't really remember him saying anything like this before for other fights. This seems legit.

Also, from my own experience, you might think you are fine going into the fight, but after the first shot or feeling off kelter on a failed double leg and you are like "oh shit, this is going to be a long night."

 

[El Panteron]

If you showed me any clip of Tito talking with no context, I would be positive he just suffered a concussion.

I thought he said it "messed" with him? A concussed fighter is more prone to that kind of mental issues.
And before anyone states otherwise, I don't really like him as a fighter. He kind of rubs me the wrong way and I really do not know why.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Man has had a concussion since 2016 when he blocked punches with his forehead.

trevor whitman saved his life imo
