Media Justin Gaethje states retirement condition: ‘If I ever go to sleep like I just went to sleep [against Max], I’m done’

[StonedLemur]

I’d love for him to fight Volk next

That would be one hell of a fight.
I think Justin wins that tbh, but I'd still love to see it sir.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Cut into pieces and thrown in the river would certainly hamper that sir.

If I were you I'd hide in the shed to eat your nuts, no man should be without them lol

Trust me I do!
After putting wife and children to sleep it is nut time!
And if that fails my wife has an huge death insurance on her.
So I do not see how things could go wrong.

Is she really deathly allergic?

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Is she really deathly allergic?

Nah, but I had to drive drunk to get her medicine on our third date.
Mid fucking after putting Tahini sauce with traces of nuts in the food.
Hmm, she probably is deathly allergic.
I guess she really loves me? Today was our first date ten years ago.

Gaethje doesn't have what it takes to be a Champion.

He's a contender, only; not smart enough, not good enough, ever to be Elite.

It is what it is.

I think in most peoples' minds you can be elite without being a champion. That's what makes champions special -- they beat elite fighters.

No interest in most people's minds.

In my mind, there are club fighters and contenders, and then there are Champions.

Not every champion is elite, to me. I guess I take the word "elite" more seriously.

Maybe you're comparing Gaethje to a guy am a street corner. I'm comparing Gaethje to the best fighters who have ever lived.

There is literally nothing "elite" about Justin Gaethje.

He is very very good in MMA. Very durable, gamer than most.

But he has nothing that's absolutely world-class — not striking and certainly not grappling.

Khabib was elite. GSP was elite. Jones was elite.

Gaethje in several steps down from any of these.

A respectable contender, a tough dude, but elite in zero categories.

Interesting. How did you get back after being banned by the way?

 

[Istryker]

Hope he sits out the rest of the year, doesn't sound like recovery going too hot for him.

Would you say Anderson Silva was elite?

 

[IronGolem007]

Would you say Anderson Silva was elite?

.

In his prime? For sure.

 

[IronGolem007]

It was temporary.

Like Poatan. He is very very good. But he is not Elite, since he has zero grappling skills and never fought a true grappler, and was beated by Israel on their last fight. But he is a Champion. Yes, I agree with you.

Poatan is an elite striker, Gaethje is elite at nothing.

 

[sandokan83]

Poatan is an elite striker, Gaethje is elite at nothing.

Faced much more challenges in MMA than Pereira.

 

[IronGolem007]

Nonsense.

Gaethje lost to every Champion he faced, while Pereira beat every Champion he faced.

 

[sandokan83]

Nonsense.

Justin fought all kinds of fighters. Pereira has Dana privilege and only fight strikers. Plus he is only in UFC because of Israel.

 

[Harlekin]

Dan Hooker at #5 due to his pretty cool win against Gamrot, is such a good fight for everyone right now.
He has a striking defense of 51%. Poirier landed at 66% which resulted in over 200 landed punches.

Gaethje has been KO'd by Poirier, Alvarez, Oliveira ... and had a life-and-death struggle with freaking Chandler. He has lost 100% of every title shot he's been gifted.

Meanwhile, Alex has won every title shot he's earned, becoming a 2x, 2-division world champion, now across 2 platforms.

Face the facts: Alex Pereira is light years more skilled, more powerful, and more accomplished than Justin Gaethje.

[Killer Kadoogan]

i think that kind of KO loss is just way too much. taken in the end of his career. super dangerous. I dont think we see the same gaethje again, i think that chin is going to be shot and i think he knows it too. dude needs to do all the stem cells.
