Nick Newell Recalls Gaethie's Relentless Pressure, Compares Him to Du Plessis

Nick Newell, who faced Justin Gaethje in a 2014 WSOF title bout, reflected on what made Gaethje uniquely difficult to stop. Newell said the only way to derail Gaethje is to knock him completely unconscious, noting that no matter how exhausted Gaethje becomes, his output, power, and forward pressure never diminish. Newell said he has encountered only two fighters with that quality — Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis.
