Quick read

Nick Newell has reflected on his 2014 WSOF lightweight title fight against Justin Gaethje, which Gaethje won by TKO. Newell said the only way to stop Gaethje is to knock him completely unconscious, noting that despite clearly fatiguing during their bout, Gaethje's output, power, and forward pressure never diminished. Newell added that Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis are the only two fighters he has observed who remain entirely unchanged by fatigue.
