Did James Vick humiliate himself?

Hard to tell if he believed all that garbage or was trying to convince himself; disrespectful either way.

What Vick overlooked and I’ve tried to point out many times is that Eddie took a ton of damage in their fight and said that if he didn’t finish Justin he felt he would surely lose.

Gaethje’s style is to wear you out and grind you down.

He was successfully doing that against Poirier but the stoppage for eye pokes gave Poirier, the more technical fighter, an extended amount of time to recover and get his wind back which changed the trajectory of the entire fight.

Those are his only losses, and Vick didn’t give him any credit for all the wins. It will be a learning experience for him if he can allow it to be.

Yeah, Gaethje's only two losses came against elite fighters in absolute wars. It's not like he's ever gone out there and just gotten steamrolled.
 
Reminds me of all the shit bisping said before his first fight with Hendo

We all know know that ended

Hell Hendo beat the shit out of him in their second fight too

And now Vick has done just that!
 
Cool dude who took a risk and got caught. I think he is better than Gaethje pretty much everywhere except taking a punch
 
Well at least he did not shit him self in the cage.
 
Nothing Vick said was untrue. The only thing was that Vick isn't in that top tier that he thought he was in. Gathje gets years taken off of his life each fight but loses to the top tier. Gathje is in that 2nd tier just below elite but it is mainly because he is willing to get hit to land one. Vick has the tools and talent to beat a Gathje but he lacked the mental part of the game. He worried too much about getting hit that he left himself wide open to the overhand right when retreating.

Gathje is fun to watch but in some ways it is a little sad too.

No. He lost and that is part of the game. Nothing to be ashamed.

Vick went into a close cage against Justin Gaethje. That deserves Hespect.

while this is true, it's also true that he deserves all the memes he's gonna/will get for his shit talking outside of the ring.

it wasn't about he was worrying about getting hit, Gaethje created the hole for his right hand by throwing the left hook that brushes Vick's hands away and causes Vick to try lean back more, but since he's near the fence he gets clobbered.

nobody gives Gaethje credit. it's not BECAUSE he's willing to take one to give one is why he's made it so far, it's in fact the thing that's LIMITING his success. the guys he lost to in UFC he could've just as easily beaten them, even stopped them, if he fought just a little smarter. Gaethje is the one that has all the tools to be a top fighter, not Vick.
 
No. For some reason, talking trash seems to pique audience interest in a fight. I'm sure he knew what he was up against and prepared for his opponent. It is a very high risk sport and I admire the courage of everyone who takes part in it, especially at those higher levels.
 
Yeah kinda

People forget how long he's been begging for a big fight
It started before the Abel fight iirc

They give him a huge main event against a guy who lets be honest, the blue print is out on and you all know the rest
 
They both, got what they wanted........money, Vicks just had to eat the humble pie and have a brain scan to get it........ Gaethje now has a nickname that's going to humble anyone, win or lose....
