Training Camp

Gaethje's main sparring partner details camp life ahead of Topuria fight

June 5, 2026

Quick read

Russian lightweight Nikita Kulshin (9-0 in MMA), who served as Justin Gaethje's primary sparring partner for his upcoming bout against Ilia Topuria, has provided an in-depth look at the camp. Gaethje trains at altitude in Arvada, Colorado at around 1,800–1,900 meters above sea level, dedicates roughly two to three hours per week to wrestling work, and lives alone during camp with a personal dietitian chef. Coach Trevor Wittman designs striking sessions around foot positioning rather than set combinations, and paid Kulshin more than the agreed fee upon completion of camp.
