What a nice guy he is. I wish him all the best!
Kevin Morley same, tough dude 👍
Kevin Morley cant stand him. Glad he lost.
yeah I totally agree...no fear
sadly he is officially done...... he will be known as the guy that ate shots and now has CTE ;(
cambo6911
Well if he does that, keeping testicles out of his mouth, he won't be able to make money on his street corner. LOL Bro.
I love Justin. Hurts to see him lose, was pulling so hard for him to win.
Drop the Bassline Hell Yeah!! He almost had him too
He doesn't care, just like Cowboy. A good fight and a check is what they want
i had Porier winning but both are awesome great fighters
He wont beat anyone in the top 5 fighting the way he does sad reality
He's still young
him and al laquinta be entertaining
Yes it would!
Chase Schaefer Who?
He'll yeah
gaethje mcgregor would probably be a banger
Al is too technical, would beat him just like Diego Sanchez
His style is extremely entertaining from a fans perspective, but I would be so worried about him(more than most fighters) if I were a family member or loved one.
It's entertaining for casual fans, fans who don't have a notion of what a mma fight is and watch UFC fights because they like to see blood... Those fans who know the sport, want to see Gaethje win without exposing themselves so stupidly and less against such inferior opponents. At any moment a medical exam will be negative and you won't be able to fight in the UFC, who will remember you?
Tony well said!
Tony > inferior opponents ? Alvarez & Piorer are inferior opponents ? OK Expert
Its painful to watch as a real MMA fan. He is so gifted but wants to fight like a drunk englishman from the 20's.
Tony I'm not a casual. I love technicality. But no one , I mean NO ONE can deny that Justin's entertaining af
It take balls to fight the way he does
He should be respected and applauded for his effort after all he’s doing it for us
Edward Cantu Absolutely. I hope he's not on one of those mid range UFC deals. This guy should be paid at least 3-400K per fight. Boxers with half the reputation he has make that kind of money.
the reality is he fights that way because he believes he can "out tough" other fighters, however coming from a lower class mma league he has been given false confidence and can't handle the top fighters in the ufc
it takes balls for someone with no balls. it's like saying it takes discipline for someone who loves bodybuilding to go to the gym every day. no. they love to do it. it's a pleasure. discipline isn't involved.
He fights like an idiot. You can still fight an entertaining fight without being an idiot.
Nah. He's a good fighter he needs to be smart in his approach. Brawling and taking shots will only diminish him faster than someone who uses ALL their MMA skills.
I have so much respect for Justin Gaethje. Broken face, broken nose and still happier than the baby faces behind the camera. Inspirational.
dustin had a broken nose as well
It's not always about bread and circuses.... Is this 'sportainment and at what cost? 'China's First Rooftopper' People do things for all sorts of reasons
those first 7 seconds. his staggered breathing, bruised face, and yet he questions the sad faces. damn what a warrior
his next fight should be against pettis. makes the most sense and would be very entertaining
Milkyzx that’s a good fight for both of them right now. Good call
Milkyzx against the loser of Barboza v Lee
He should fight Al Iaquinta
That's not a good fight he would wash Pettis.. Pettis fails to have a killer mentality and this guy does
Milkyzx ..his body exposed. .Pettis will capitalize that with his leg..
damn he looks heartbroken
Yeah you know he cares more about then just putting on a show. He wants the belt and sadly I think he realized he may not be on that level.
no he doesn't....
People feeling too bad this is their job, you win and you lose some and get paid more in a fight than most people do for a full year of work. Dont feel so bad. Not trying sound like a hater but its their job
@@DrSourPurp Now... He can do this
He was Justin "MyHeadIsMyProtection" Gaetjie but
He change style and now he Justin "BreakMyHandsOnFaces" Gaetjie
It's good for Justin but we probably will not see Justin
which made fights crazy
Now look were hes at
Well he said he's never going to change his style. So I guess that's it for Gaethje then...
Ricky there's a reason for that...his defense sucks. He'll either have CTE ir bed dead if he doesn't change his style up.
Ricky if you are being genuine saying that then you are blind.
Ricky: You gotta realize casuals don't understand fight physics. lol Most of them couldn't even tell you what is going on at any given time of a fight.
zephiro l yes. Call people “casuals” for stating the obvious. Casual...
Mikey C23 Your an idiot. Football players take 10s of thousands of head shots hes gonna take maybe 1000 most he blocks. He takes alot of hits but less than almost all boxers. Dude it a legend
Thank you to justin for understanding this is the entertainment buisness and making every fight amazing for all the fans but please make some adjustments smh when he was standing still just covering up and allowing dustin to just throw on him I was like please no lol I know he fights in a phone booth but use footwork or wresting to avoid SOME damage PLEASE
lmao get a grip you wreak of insecurities.
Go back to Wakanda
Black Rulership yeah kinda like when stipe lost to ngannou, oh wait..
Black Rulership
Lol the champ in his division is white...
Every time i see him fight I can't help but wonder what he's gonna look like when he's done with MMA, i hope the best, but this isn't boxing, you can't taka as many headshots at a pro boxer with these gloves
Justin ur a G! Hope u bounce back my boy
Justin is one of those fighters if he was more defensive he'd be able to use that toughness "if" he got caught rather than walk forward and eat them all.
Incognito Picogram yooooo brooo ur pic is something else 😂
Man i worry for this guy after he's done with the fight game. Hes really great. I wonder how great he can be if he uses all his tools instead of brawling all the time. And uses his iron chin when he really needs it. Guess we'll never know
He wants to become a social worker, so not a lot of intelligence required.
2021 and he is #2
he beat tony Ferguson. and gave khabib his best.
Dude is going to be punch drunk before he's 35 at the rate he's going at. Barely 4 months since he was KO'd with a knee to the face from Eddie and he's back getting stanky legged by Dustin... wtf are his team and coaches thinking. Protect your damn fighters!
Michael Jung
He has symptoms of slurred speech already and he's 29.
If he keeps fighting, I can't imagine what he's going to sound like at 40 or 50 years old.
He also did the stanky leg twice and was out on his feet in the MJ fight. All three fights in the UFC he’s got bombed on.
Michael Jung why does he turn 35 at midnight ?
Other then saying he’s gonna he punch drunk(God willing he doesn’t) I agree with you. His team gotta take care of him
Michael Jung if he die he die...team yamazaki
Justin, do WRESTLINGGGGGG
arslan Lmao
Dooooo it!
Was thinking the same thing
YOU CAN DO ITTTTT!!!!!
it was like Popeye refusing to eat spinach
I'd like them to give Gaethje an easier opponent next time. His first three UFC opponents were all near or in the top 5, and he went 1-2 in three great fights. I'd like to see him versus someone in the top 15 just to give him a breather and see where he stands. Give him someone like Pettis or Dariush.
one of my favorite fighters!
Needs to use his wrestling. Gnp then get his hand raised.
Hound of Uladh he said he would rather be entertaining than win basically. Before his Michael Johnson fight .
Anti Depression absolutely ridiculous
Agreed. He can beat Khabib
This guy reminds me of Chris Leban. Aggressive hard hitter with an iron chin and always putting up a good fight for the fans. Win or lose as long as he entertains and has wins here and there he’ll be in the UFC for a long time.
Victor Lara great comparison with leban
Justin the crippler Gaethje
I hope not, unless he begins to wrestle and take his fights to the ground. If he only wants to brawl he needs to retire
Victor Lara have you heard Leben lately? He's messed up
Justin, you're one heck of a fighter. It's amazing watching you compete.
Justin Gaethje has earned my utmost respect - not just in this fight... it's all that heart that he brings and this inspiring attitude. Sort of like a slightly more low key Donald Cerrone...? Just a great attitude.
To be honest if he does have 5 more fights like this like he says, he will be fine mentally. I doubt he spars hard because of his style, and I rather have 5 wars like that than play football for 12 years like I did.
Tommy Chong said it perfectly people don’t realize the head trauma people are taking in football especially linemen
The Arturo Gatti of UFC
Good call.
Well said.
Dude, you can fight the way you fight (aggressive crazy brawling) with better footwork and head movement.
And apply his very high level of ground game.. atleast when he is rocked
Agree.
he'll be back....more legendary fights i say
yeeeee aged like fine winee!!!!
Yeah!!!
Love this guy,what a warrior and class act.
God damn.... MMA has been blessed tremendously with this warrior. Stay sharp and healthy, Justin. The sport will miss you greatly when these last 5 fights pass us all.
You gotta love and respect this man. He comes to fight EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I completely agree with him, if you don’t get a chance to see him fight live before he retires…. You will definitely regret it!
One of the most entertaining fighters ever.
He went from where is my equal to I'm an entertainer
fast S Xactly!
Exactly my thoughts ... not a fan at all
He was undefeated back then.
Yeah being undefeated by no means makes you the goat .. undefeated fighting a bunch of bums doesn’t make him even a contender for goat ... come on now GOAT IS THE GREATEST OF ALLLLL TIME ... this guy is a brawler good entertainer no where near goat is all I’m saying lol
loll exactly .
He does say he will make adjustments. Just more headmovement...he got really good cardio!
How cannot you love this guy? Hes one of my favorite fighters of all times and i only saw 3 last fights he did . This guy got balls men! Thnx Justin for the show good luck in your future fight.
Justin 'I have never had a thought in a fight' Gaethje
ltlaucke
I didn’t think when I payed soccer, it’s instinct
you will never understand if you haven't tried it bro
He can remain an aggressive brawler with better head movement and defense and still be champion. Look at robbie lawler, he made money, became champ and never had a single boring fight. Justin's a better wrestler than robbie and can easily be champ if he learns striking defense, because defense stays with you but chin doesnt.
Gaethje is such a warrior how can you not love the excitement he brings to the game! He’s a real throwback, the closest thing to a prime Wanderlei MMA has at this point
Respect that he still comes to talk to the media!
if he wants to leave a legacy, needs to use his wrestling background and Use slips and counters.
his coach is also thug rose's coach, needs to reign him in and apply a fight plan
He needs to use his wrestling more....
Humble in victory or defeat, god bless 🙏🏼
What a crazy fighter. I love watching this guy throw down, dude is tough. Much respect to both warriors.
He definitely entertains and I will always tune in to watch, but I wonder if it’s frustrating for his fans that actually want him to win.
Diego D it is
Diego D Very fustrating, he is like watching a flower about to bloom only open its pedals in the dark.
This interview though...
Great Fight! Stand up, and exchange! Respect to both
What a warrior! He has a kindness about him and very genuine nature. I'm rooting for him!
See you soon boy. -CTE
Not even original
I salute him entertaining fighter
Add that wrestling to the mix man! Some violent ground & pound with that vicious stand up! Nightmare!
Best of wishes to this man. Great soul and what a warrior. I was rooting for him and will continue to do so
Stop interviewing concussed fighters.
Black Rulership Not really Gaethje has so much potential but he fights like a drunk. He is an all american wrestler who wants to strike. Justin hit the takedown and pick up a strategy
It was most likely his decision to
Kris L u dont have to go out to get concussed really
Black Rulership How was the hype train derailed? Dude puts on a show, gets paid a quarter mil for a fight, and earns every penny. You could put gaethje in there against the snooziest guy on the roster and he'd make it a must watch event. Dude is an animal.
C C Well said. Agree 100%
With his credentials he could have easily gone down as the goat, but he chose this. Respect.
Raj Singh goat lol lol lol lol please don’t ever comment on mma again
He would never beat Tony or Khabib.. But yeah, he could slip the odd punch.
He can beat khabib. He has the wrestling credentials, but doesn't use it. Tony might be a hard matchup, but who doesn't have hard matchups in this game.
Raj Singh his credentials you kidding man ... anyone can beat anyone technically you are right anything is possible .. But justin is no where near the wrestler khabib is like come man .. do you not see
How he walks out of every fight untouched .. not a scratch on him .. Justin looks like he got in a car accident at the Nd of his fights . Please stop lol Justin is an average fighter with tons of heart and a brawlers attitude . Not even in the discussion to be one of the greats sorry raj I no you like him but he is an average fighter who likes to brawl and s very entertaining that’s it lol
He is a ncaa 1 wrestler. Don't you think he can stop khabib's takedowns? And everyone knows how good khabib is in striking.
Outstanding fight, much respect to both fighters, wow
Always have to respect those that come out to fight and win decisively vs fighting not to lose using rules to edge out decisions
Dude I'm sorry but for me personally, Gaethje should retire and stop taking so much damage. The fights that he gave us will be remembered always but at this speed rate he's going to ruin the rest of his life. Respect but please stop
His family needs to talk to him and save him.. seriously. If he has two more fights like this, he is going to be a human vegetable.
Must respect! I think your a real fighter. I thought it was stopped early
He's my favorite fighter of all time. I'm glad he knows he's style isnt for the long career and wants out after 5 more. Dude is a beast
I think he’d give Khabib his hardest fight. Khabib wouldn’t take him down and Justin would keep coming forward pressuring him. And Khabib going backwards is his weakness
stop it
I think that would be a great fight as well. Khabib does struggle going backwards and Justin is an all american wrestling champion. It's not like Khabib is going to knock him out.
Conor The No Stamina, Hugging McGregor Be yourself will yea. Making up fake profiles on the internet is just sad. Probably a little 10 year old keyboard warrior. And if not I’d really question your life.
Jason O'Grady Aww.. Did I hurt your feelings Jason?.. Lay off the meds, boy.
Conor The No Stamina, Hugging McGregor Aw come on you can surly come back with something better than that? Gotta love CZcams
3 fights in the UFC and already FOUR bonuses. Is there anyone who achieved that in their first 3 UFC fights? Just curious
kopxpert check out Zabit Magomedsharipov, 3 fights and 3 bonuses! Future featherweight champ!
@@ulaa2469 this aged well
Love watching this guy fight. Literally leave it it all in the Octagon. Every fight!!!
people saying we want and we love to watch his brawl style but tbh i turn into UFC to watch stuff i can't do. i'm tryna see some technicals fights, strategies etc
Incoming CTE comments, can you people lay off for on time?!
on time? what do you have CTE?
You people are worse than those in the crowd that WOO!
People have the right to be annoyed. This guy is an amazing wrestler. If he mixes it up he could be the champ. But he fights like a drunk brawler.
Diaz vs Gaethje for the CTE world champion
The Stargazer But his fighting style is the reason people tune in to watch
“I think that big break from Herb Dean really helped him.”
vs.
“I don’t make excuses.”
Those leg kicks were brutal
Hasn't said a bad word about anyone and continues to fight his heart unlike anyone I've ever seen. Love this kid and got a lot of respect for him. I hope it works out for him in the end.
The most concussed lightweight fighter in UFC
fiqipraramadhan sad
i love him but he gotta employ ido portal for touchbutt and movement
#mostentertainingfighter
I love this guy, he will never have a boring fight, seriously he just got concussed and listen to the positive attitude, he's a dog a serious dog the best in the biz
Win or Lose Justin is still one of my favourite fighters and I’m sure he’s a fan favourite because he gets stuck in and even when he loses he stays humble and doesn’t make excuses. I have nothing but respect for him.
good cus this aint for you....and ima a fan but not in it to win....wtf is that smh
"If that was a 3 round fight, I won that" seconds later.... "I'm not an idiot". Okkkkkk
"Ive never had a thought in a fight" WOW!!!!!
Maaann what a warrior, so much respect for this GG
Justin has a better chance against Khabib ( provided he uses his wrestling skills) than Dustin...Khabib is not the one to trade punches like Justin.
Dustin smashed him, just like Alvarez did. Every time this guy steps up to fight an elite fighter he’s rendered unconscious.
*that was a WAR !! Justin has toughness & heart beyond 99% of MMA Fighters. Dustin 100% deserves that title shot - his performance against Justin was incredible - fight of the year contender and hes so tough, so skilled, so accurate - he took a lot of leg kicks. What a win - Congratulations*
So many people said he’s not good enough to make it in the ufc when he was fighting for World Series fighting but he’s proving them wrong. He’s gone toe to toe with some legit guys, all his ufc fights have been good ass fighters. But I will say ufc fighters are a different animal for sure. He’s never lost before entering the ufc and he’s finding out these dudes are much more technical faster and stronger mentally and physically. Other guys would’ve collapsed from those leg kicks like he has to all his previous opponents but Dustin was a true warrior and fought through those leg kicks and pain. It was truely inspiring seeing Dustin fight through those leg kicks and get the knockout. But much respect to Justin, he will be around cause people want to see him fight and people will tune in. That’s all the ufc cares about. The ufc will not cut you when you having fight of the year fights every fight and instant classics with whoever you fight. His fight style is reckless but super entertaining cause he makes other fighters fight his kinda brawling high pressure fight.
As we all watch the slurring, the jaw slowly turns to glass...
Thanks for the opinion Doctor
lmao at all these casuals in the comments. Justin Cormier vs Dustin Gaethje was a great fight !
Humble guy
Props Two both these warriors
The fact he doesn't care about winning, and it's just for entertainment and money makes me dislike him. This is a sport and I wanna see people compete, the fact he says he has 5 fights left, and doesn't even care about being a champ is just a turn off. Fun to watch but I'll never root for someone who doesn't care about winning.
Justin"Human Punching Bag"Gaethje
Darkness Falls Justin “ Don’t miss him fight live” Gaethje
dude's sacrificing his health to entertain people like you
much respect!!
Very admirable how he puts himself in the line of Fire for his fans. Win lose or draw I will always be a fan. And no doubt about it I’ll be trying to make it to one of his remaining 5 fights live.
Dustin won all 3 rounds IMO. THEN he took you out‼️👊👊 Vinny 🇺🇸
Been drinking early today?
Dustin would have lost the 3rd but 9-9 with the point deduction for the second eyepoke. You can make a case that Dustin won the first 2 rounds. I thought 1st was close could go either way. Dustin won the 2nd pretty clearly. 3rd was 9-9 so it was a draw or Dustin up 29-27 going into the 4th. Didn't matter with the finish.
Respect what a warrior
love watching this guy fight!
he's so real and honest,, a real fighter,, s so rare
Gotta love this guy!
Much love!
Remember watching this back in 2018 hehe
Ayoo
Ref stopped it early but the most entertaining fight I've ever seen.
Class act. Always puts a show.
That was a crazy good fight! Gaethje takes so much damage, I wish he could figure out how to not take so much.
Love him his personality his attitude. But knowing the damage being done is sad, and someone like him didn't deserve the repercussions for his style of fighting
Wanna see how it plays out if he fights with Edson Barboza
Both excellent Kickers .
Cool Dude! a total professional in the ring.
You are inspiration man
Mad respect. This dude has more heart than most men. Death before dishonor. He is inspiration. He will be remembered for his heart! Heroes are remembered, legends never die
good to see he can still talk
