TLDR cliffs for you whiny lazy mother fuckers with ADD who whinge about wall of text
- -Chandler’s chin will fail him
- -MC might attempt a boring grappling,TD, ground control plan, it will fail.
- -Justin’s TDD, cardio and ability to withstand damage will be the difference
- -Lot’s of Gaethje ball slobbering because he’s a Just Bleed Disciple
- -Fight will be competitive and exciting early on, goes 3-4 rounds
- -Picking JG by KO/TKO in a Vintage Gaethje type performance
- -Will see a refocused and improved Justin since the embarrassing loss.
- Grammer, punctuation, sentence structure and English sucks, not writing a thesis
Chandler has shown the cage wear on his chin to be a liability, Gaethje is the last guy you want to be locked in the cage with if you’re worried about surviving a good hard shot. IMO MC’s best avenue to victory would be predicated on his ability to successfully implement a wrestling based game plan against JG. If Chandler can keep the wrestling engagements and scrambles prolonged, working Justin against the cage, coupled with ugly wallNstall early on, maybe he can put a major dent in Gaethje’s gas tank. If MC can deplete Justin’s tank this may open up the TD’s and ground control in the later rounds.
But, realistically as we’ve seen, unless your name is Khabib, Justin’s TDD and ability to scramble back to his feet are impeccable, add in great cardio, and IMO this will be unsuccessful. If we’re are left with a striking affair, MC is at a huge disadvantage, besides his cast iron chin and ridiculous pace, Justin keeps showing improvements to his striking under Wittman. Unfortunately for Chandler it simply takes an obscene amount of damage to finish Gaethje. Justin technically hasn’t yet been separated from consciousness or stiffened, the two TKO/KO losses were basically more from accumulative damage, where the ref had seen enough and waived it off. The Alvarez knee no doubt finished Justin, but he was savagely still coherent enough to go for Alvarez’s legs, then roll over and drunkenly stager over to Herb Dean to complain about the stoppage....
Gaethje’s an Inspiration to all the Just Bleed Warriors out there
I honestly don’t know if Chandler has enough firepower to finish the fight quickly, if he doesn’t he’s fucked. We’ve seen in order to beat Gaethje you don’t just win the fight, you will need to win the war of attrition, Gaethje has that Edgaresque resilience, along with weaponized cardio output, I’m just not seeing MC being able to withstand the landslide for the required 3-4 rounds to end JG.
I’m picking Justin Gaethje by KO/TKO a vintage pace driven highlight stoppage, I I think Justin patiently picks his shots until the Chandler is ripe, then the avalanche of damage will commence, it takes 3-4 rounds. That is unless Gaethje clip’s Chandler early, I just don’t see this happening because neither fighter will show their hand until after the feeling out process. it will be a fun and competitive fight, especially early on, but once Gaethje finds his range and gets comfortable setting the pace it will only be a matter of time before Justin outclasses him.
On another note, I think that Justin was embarrassed about his performance against Khabib, that loss has lit a fire under him. We haven’t heard much out of Gaethje and he’s been inactive because he’s been grinding, shoring up those grappling deficiencies, we are going to see a more evolved, improved, and dangerous Justin Gaethje.
