Justin Gaethje Had Sad Medical Problem At Hotel

Justin Gaethje is one of the best UFC fighters in the history of the sport. Justin Gaethje’s surprising bet on Tyron Woodley was also leaked recently. 

 


 

Justin Gaethje recently spoke to Kevin Iole for Yahoo! Sports, where he talked about his fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254. In the fight, he ended up submitting to Khabib.

“This is gonna sound like an excuse but when I woke up and I fought Tony Ferguson, my heart rate that morning was sitting at like 36. And when I woke up and I fought Khabib [Nurmagomedov], my heart rate that morning was like 72… I knew something was not right. I don’t know what it was and I don’t think I’ll ever have an answer.

It [the fight] being halfway across the planet, if you are a creature of habit, you are completely out of your world. There was nothing there that I could keep, you know, a structure to. I had no control of food, water, anything, no control of the time zone. You know, those may have all been factors, I’m not sure, I don’t know why my body wasn’t primed to perform that day and I felt that after the first round. I felt every single bit of it. I felt tired, exhausted and I’m sure most of it was his ability to walk through my shots and put pressure, a constant pressure on me. That was probably the biggest factor and the other factors, I can’t understand or explain.”
