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

Nick Newell, who faced Justin Gaethje in a 2014 WSOF title fight and lost by TKO, has reflected on what made Gaethje so difficult to deal with. Newell noted that despite clearly hearing Gaethje laboring to breathe during the fight, his output, power, and forward pressure never dropped. Newell said he has seen only two fighters who operate this way regardless of fatigue, naming Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis.
