Justin Gaethje says he only has five fights left in MMA career

Shortly after another insane FOTY candidate, Justin Gaethje says he probably has five fights left in his career, so fans should tune in while they can.

“I got about five fights,” he said. “I want the biggest fights possible. Coming off two losses, that’s hard to say, but you want to see me fight. If you don’t see me fight live, you will regret it when I’m done. And it’s not going to be very long, I’ve got five left.

“I want to golf when I’m 60. I have a human services degree, I want to do social work. Hopefully I can buy a lot of houses and make money that way.”

I think that's smart. If the guy was like jon jones and hasn't taken any real damage, i'm sure he would fight 10+ more. But you've got to know where you stand. I'm glad he has an end game strategy.

Well good thing they didn't because look at where he's at now. Justified

Lost to two guys on the cusp of a title fight.

Lawler is another one that is probably looking at dementia.

Nogueira is probably the one that took the most damage in MMA. He made a career of eating punches to pull his submissions. If he is not demented already, he's gonna be the first.
