Media Is Gaethje mentally broken?

He should be ashamed of that performance lol.

But I hope he gets back in there at 100%. Needs to work on his wrestling and ground game though, that whole thing against Khabib was a disgrace.
 
in the Khabib fight? yea. but it's not like he's gonna be fighting Khabib ever again.
 
I dont think so, he seems mentally tougher than most fighters. And I don't think many can replicate what Khabib did. Khabib used a lot of pressure and was willing to implement a heavy pressure striking strategy. If someone like Charles/FKL did that, they would probably get KTFO or have their legs chopped.

And he actually didn't do too bad against Khabib, it does look like he got dominated, but you can see the leg kicks were adding up. I believe that was a fight Khabib knew he had to finish quick.
 
I seriously doubt it. He been beat before and he got better.
 
Gaethje doesn’t need to stomp his feet and make noise ....... he needs to work on his ground game

I think Justin is a pretty well adjusted individual. It would take much more than that to mentally break him.

Not mentally broken, but definitely Pre-CTE if not already full-blown CTE.
 
Hooker said something about Justin thinking he could sit out for a title fight but Hooker says some ridiculous things about other fighters so take it with a grain of salt. He was calling Charles a pussy just recently.
 
I could understand if its hard to be motivated. Even if you become champ you didnt beat the champ and its not a rematch hes ever gonna get. Gaethje had some 50 50 fight but never anything close to that fighy with Khabib. But i dont know him so who knows.
 
No. LOL- a week out before Tony Charlo fight, he explained what bronx didnt have what he had( lol) and why Tony would probably win. He owes alot to Trevor & co- they evolved him up quite a bit. Hes a top 155er but I dont see him winning title ( real title) in future. He loses to Dustin again, gets dusted by Charlo , loses to Conor and I can see him getting upset by a couple others.
 
It’s tough to take Gaethje seriously now.
Threw the interim title on the ground after he beat Tony, talked all this nonsense about how violent he was and Khabib’s kryptonite.

Then ran scared the whole fight.

Who cares he was demoralized and walked over within 8 minutes

It's a long list of fighters who have had that happen to them at one time or the other and many of them bounce back just fine. MMA fans are just by and large pretty damn dumb and love to cling to cliches
