He’s VERY exciting! And sloppy.

He thinks he’ll outclass Fiziev on the feet? Ooof, I think he’ll be surprised. I’d put Fiziev a level above Gaethje on striking, even though Gaethje is a high level striker and always dangerous fighter. That says a lot about Fiziev’s ability.

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.

Not about being one of the most exciting fighters.

But def about being THE most exciting. I think if we took a poll among fans about which fighters constantly had them on the edges of seats or standing or jumping and screaming, we'd get through the Andersons, Boneses, Zabits, Khamzats, even Conors and MVPs (not UFC but still dent skulls and breaks legs), and eventually get to Gaethje, sure.

And I do like Gaethje fights so I'm no hater. But MOST exciting? I don't think he'd make top 10, much less number 1. That said, he is an exciting fighter to me.

Yeah but Anderson was appearing and disappearing in there like a sorcerer.

But Gaethje is a fun fighter no doubt.

Well said. Thats what ive been trying to say too. Gaehtje is a savage, and definitely exciting, but THE MOST exciting in history? Come on thats a bit of a stretch.

@HHJ was saying he is because he swings and gets hit. He’s using that one criteria for making him the most exciting.

Fiziev may be more technical and overall a better striker. But in a firefight, it only takes 1 punch to end the fight. I just hope we dont get a quick stoppage.

Zabit more exciting than Gaethje? You're smoking crack haha
 
from a violence stand point justin gaethje is the most exciting fighter in history of mma. And Fiziev vs Gaethje is the best matchup in history of mma.

He's a good watch and punching bag for top 3 guys but anderson silva was by far imo the most exciting to so it same with young fedor
 
He is the JBG representative. You need to bleed a little if you want to take him out with strikes. Fizzy does have underrated wrestling. He does train it.
