Quick read

Nick Newell has reflected on his 2014 WSOF title fight against Justin Gaethje, whom Gaethje defeated by TKO. Newell said the only way to stop Gaethje is to knock him completely unconscious, describing his pressure, toughness, and output as unchanging even under heavy fatigue. Newell added that Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis are the only two fighters he has seen who maintain the same level of output and aggression regardless of how tired they become.
