Quick read

Nick Newell has reflected on his 2014 WSOF title fight loss to Justin Gaethje, describing Gaethje as virtually unstoppable under fatigue. Newell said the only way to stop Gaethje is to knock him completely unconscious, noting that despite hearing Gaethje breathe heavily during the bout, his output, power, and forward pressure never diminished. Newell added that he has only ever seen two fighters who remain completely unchanged by exhaustion — Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis.
