Combat Profile

Justin Gaethje is a fan-favorite lightweight known for his NCAA wrestling pedigree and ferocious, knockout-oriented striking style. Fighting out of Elevation Fight Team, "The Highlight" utilizes brutal low kicks to compromise his opponent's mobility before unleashing heavy boxing combinations. He possesses a granite chin and an incredible gas tank, often engaging in firefights where he is willing to take damage to land his signature power shots.

Tactical Advantage

He exploits fighters who try to match him in a brawl or fail to check his destructive calf kicks. Gaethje's wrestling defense allows him to keep the fight standing where his power advantage is most pronounced against technical strikers. While he can be outpointed by elusive movers, he overwhelms opponents who lack the footwork to escape his pressure or the durability to withstand his heavy leg attacks.
