Gaethje’s backflip celebration after Michael Johnson stoppage

[flakxd]

I can’t find the full clip of the sequence, but here are a couple gifs.

To me, this is one of the more epic ufc moments of recent, and one of the goat celebrations in ufc history.

Dude was so exhausted, he couldn’t even climb up the fence, and almost KO’d himself attempting to do so. Then he pushed the athletic commission’s security guys back, cleared some space, then proceeds to absolutely stick the landing. The look on everyone’s face is priceless....especially considering just how epic that fight was in general.

Second gif just needs to say IN

Yeah that was Fucking awesome.

I just hope he doesn’t break a leg or tear something doing that one day.

I love Justin but kind of dumb considering the risk and the damage he’s already taken.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
how have i not seen that

Best celebration of all time imo, considering how insane the fight was. At the same time, its stupid as well as you can seriously injure yourself at that point, look at Johnny Walker lol

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Hahaha Justin is such a beast. So excited for this weekend

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Funny in retrospect but watching it live...after almost two rounds of an exhausting pace plus getting rocked badly twice it seemed like a terrible idea. Couldn't believe security let him do it especially after falling.

but somehow Johnny got injured doing something that's not even half as dumb or dangerous

war Gaethje i think he's gonna take it to Cowboy but either way it's gonna be a sick fight.

backflipping like that is fucking dangerous and stupid.. yea, i know he does cage fighting for a living, but it's unnecessary... if he misses his landing or slips he can break his fucking neck and either end up dead or quadriplegic... the ufc should suspend and fine any fighter from doing that

MJ tagged him and had Justin doing the chicken dance.

If MJ wasn't such a mentally weak fighter (all respect but I feel this is not controversial, his coaches beg him not to quit during actual fights) he could have probably put JG away.

Never go full Mark Coleman.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Never go full Mark Coleman.

I prefer the Coleman Fall.

 

[Gambit MMA]

yea that was classic. dude fell on his ass and was hell bent on doing a backflip off the cage

 

[Terpizzle]

Condit’s knee would fly into the 5th row if he tried that

(Insert GSP backflip fail, Bambi legs)

Imagine if Dominic Cruz did that, he would never walk again

Hi, welcome to the Justin Gaethje Fan Club. You'll notice that this is what we have stenciled over the door.
