Alexander Topuria, coach and brother of Ilia Topuria, provided a detailed technical breakdown of Justin Gaethje's fighting style ahead of their UFC 328 title fight. According to Alexander, Gaethje selectively chooses moments to strike when opponents stand directly in front of him. He identified Gaethje as being particularly vulnerable during his own offensive sequences, creating opportunities for counter-strikes. Alexander emphasized that engaging in exchanges during Gaethje's attacks is risky but can be exploited with selective, well-timed counters. He noted that Gaethje doesn't throw cleanly and leaves defensive openings when attacking, making it crucial to maintain discipline and keep a tight guard while looking for counter opportunities.
