Quick read

Nick Newell has reflected on his 2014 WSOF lightweight title fight against Justin Gaethje, which Gaethje won by TKO. Newell described Gaethje as nearly impossible to stop, noting that even when visibly fatigued and breathing hard, Gaethje maintained the same punching power, volume, and forward pressure throughout the bout. Newell said Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis are the only two fighters he has witnessed who show no meaningful decline in output despite heavy fatigue.
