Media Justin Gaethje: ‘I’m the most exciting fighter that has ever stepped in that octagon in the history

[hswrestler]

0:46 He watches all ufc fights, but he has been studying fiziev in particular to find ways to take advantage of him
1:18 Gaethje says he been working on submissions and getting up from the ground.
1:49 Compared to Fiziev he thinks he has faster but not as heavy leg kicks
2:00 He took a break bc of bicycle accident and damage from the Oliveira fight
2:30 Kamaru dominated the last fight, so Kamaru should win this weekend.
2:48 Gaethje predicts that Fiziev would get in trouble on the feet and shoot because Gaethje would outclass him on the feet.
4:03 He thinks Fiziev has elite striking but Gaethje can create more damage and control distance better
4:32 Doesn't care about Mcgregor Chandler
4:48 Fiziev is confident and reminds him of Gaethje 5 years ago
5:58 Gaethje has been on much bigger fights than Fiziev and his experience will help him get it done.
6:50 Thinks him facing Fiziev is the natural progression. He wants a win, a win will get him closer to the title. He wants to rematch Porier and/or fight for the title after a win.
7:52 I am the most exciting fighter in the history of the sport
9:40 Fiziev could be up there. Others are TRT Jon Jones and Prime silva
10:13 Thinks Jones asterisk is irrelavent bc everyone popped back then, it will be different if he pops now
10:35 He thinks Oliveira would be trouble if Beneil gets him on the ground
11:20 Gaethje doesn't try to be exciting on purpose, its just who he is. He cannot control it.

He's pretty exciting but man is he sloppy.

 

[rjmbrd]

Dude is delusional and got gifted a lot of opportunities.

JG gets wrecked against elite opponents almost as a rule.

Fighting like a moron throwing yourself to the ground with over-strikes isn't entertaining to everyone. He's not even remotely in my top 10 most entertaining fighters of all time.

You have to take some CTE to give some CTE... Just Bleed God appreciates the sacrifice.

Valid, people have different definitions of entertaining. I actually like seeing Belal fight funny enough.
Whats your top 10

Dude is delusional

Not about being one of the most exciting fighters.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

You'd think he would have won a belt by now if this were true. I call bs

Wrong

Id rather Justin over Tony,no offense to Tony. As long as it stays on the feet lol.

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

Hunto was more exciting in my opinion.

Exciting doesnt mean the best. Or the smartest.

 

[matrixremaster]

He isn't exactly wrong.

 

[hswrestler]

He isn't exactly wrong.

Hopefully for him, you mean the part where he outclasses Fiziev on the feet and makes him shoot.

 

[humdizzle]

its another way of saying. "i'm not very technical but casuals love me"

 

[drbolony]

Look, I'm not saying he's going to win. But I think those who think Fiziev is going to just steam roll Gaethje are in for a big surprise. Idk where all the Gaethje haters came from, he was pretty much universally loved when he debuted. He's a kill or be killed Just Bleed General.

He can box decently for MMA, but he overextends when he starts to feel himself. According to Gaethje, he was shook after seeing Rose lose to Carla last time out. I personally tend to believe him, because he was fighting ok in the Oliviera fight until he started to drop Chuck. If he comes out falling over on left hooks again, I'll shut up forever, but as of now, I believe in Justin Gaethje. Not as the best fighter in the world, but as an exciting fighter with a serviceable skill set. Good enough to be top 5 in one of the most talent rich divisions in history.

Oh I was talking about the exciting part in the title...

he has little chance against Fiziev.

 

[hswrestler]

its another way of saying. "i'm not very technical but casuals love me"

he did say he can control distance better than fiziev... we'll see if its true

 

[hswrestler]

Wrong

Prime ferguson was a beast.

 

[24K]

Bit of an overstatement but the man is entertaining af no doubt.
