Justin Gaethje loves violence
Gaethje is famously known as a “phone booth fighter” who likes to stand and trade blows with his opponents inside the Octagon. Gaethje loves the pain. He welcomes it. ‘The Highlight’ has famously won seven post-fight bonus checks in his last six fights and speaking at a recent UFC 249 media conference call, he said that he hopes to get his nose broken by an elbow from Ferguson during the upcoming fight.
Although fight fans are disappointed to see the much-awaited Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson matchup get called off for the fifth time, Gaethje’s inclusion as the Russian’s replacement has actually given fans of the sport a lot to look forward to.
Both Ferguson and Gaethje love throwing caution to the wind inside the Octagon and no matter who walks away with the interim title at the end, the fight promises to be a thriller. Gaethje revealed he called out Ferguson not so long ago, after beating James Vick because of what the former brings to the table in a fight and is glad that things turned out in a way that he got his wish.
The unpredictability and constant pressure Ferguson brings to a fight makes the Octagon a torture chamber for his opponents and Gaethje wants to thrive in situations like this. Gaethje wants to feel comfortable in a “life and death situation” inside the cage.
