Nick Newell recalls what made Justin Gaethje uniquely difficult to stop in 2014 WSOF bout

Nick Newell, who faced Justin Gaethje in a 2014 WSOF title fight and lost by TKO, has reflected on what sets Gaethje apart as a competitor. Newell said the only way to stop Gaethje is to knock him completely unconscious, describing his toughness, pressure, and output as unchanged even under severe fatigue. Newell added that Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis are the only two fighters he has encountered who maintain that level of performance regardless of how tired they are.
