Quick read

Russian lightweight Nikita Kulshin (9-0), who served as Justin Gaethje's primary sparring partner ahead of his rematch with Ilia Topuria, shared extensive details about the preparation camp held in Arvada, Colorado. Gaethje conducts two to three hours of wrestling work per week, moves well and hits hard at altitude, and had low kicks incorporated into camp, though heavy emphasis was placed on high-kick defense and footwork positioning by coach Trevor Wittman. Kulshin noted that Gaethje's gun safe contained a golden Desert Eagle, multiple Glocks, two AR-platform rifles, and two sniper rifles, and that both Gaethje and Wittman were exceptionally generous hosts who paid Kulshin more than agreed.
