Nick Newell recalls Justin Gaethje's relentless pressure: 'Only way to stop him is to kill him'

Nick Newell, who faced Justin Gaethje for the WSOF title in 2014 and lost by TKO, has reflected on what made Gaethje exceptional. Newell said the only way to alter Gaethje's course is to knock him out cold, noting that fatigue produces no visible change in his output. Newell added that he knows only two fighters who maintain full intensity despite obvious exhaustion — Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis.
