Quick read
Russian lightweight Nikita Kulchin (9-0), who served as Justin Gaethje's primary sparring partner ahead of the Ilia Topuria fight, has provided a detailed account of the camp in Arvada, Colorado. Kulchin described Gaethje as a capable scrambler with an unpredictable ground game, and noted that Gaethje's trainer Trevor Wittman focuses heavily on foot positioning rather than set combinations. Gaethje trained wrestling roughly two to three hours per week and worked on his high kick, though without heavy emphasis, and a private chef handled all nutrition throughout camp.
