Quick read
Nikita Kulishin, Justin Gaethje's primary sparring partner ahead of the Topuria fight, says he suffered the same eye cut from Gaethje's uppercut in camp that Topuria took in the first round. Kulishin explained that Gaethje deliberately practiced deep lateral head movement knowing Topuria rarely throws high kicks, allowing him to create angles for his cutting uppercuts. The gameplan, developed by coach Trevor Wittman, was executed with precision down to the smallest details rehearsed in camp.
