UFC lightweight contender Justin Gaethje often gets into intense battles and memorable knockout victories inside the octagon. However, he recently sported a bizarre outfit that surprised the MMA community.
At UFC 291 he clinched the BMF (Baddest Mother F***er) championship with a spectacular head-kick KO against Dustin Poirier. This victory underlines Gaethje’s indomitable spirit and resilience, qualities that earn him respect from fans and peers alike. Many consider this attribute a quintessential emblem of his resolute masculinity.
However, Gaethje recently surprised his fanbase by revealing a different facet of his personality. A series of online videos surfaced, showcasing him confidently donning a blue crepe maxi swing dress.
The MMA fans were baffled, wondering about the reason behind Gaethje’s choice to wear a dress. Subsequently, it came to light that the American was ranked at the bottom among his friends in last year’s Fantasy Football draft.
Gaethje had lost a bet and, in accordance with the agreed-upon consequences, donned the distinctive blue dress as a humorous penalty.

Several fans took to Twitter to react to the video, with former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman writing:
“I have so many questions?”
Meanwhile, another fan claimed that Justin Gaethje might have drawn inspiration from Israel Adesanya’s documentary, ‘Stylebender,’ given the UFC middleweight champion’s influential role in challenging conventional notions of masculinity through his rising popularity:
“After watching Israel Adesanya’s documentary on toxic masculinity.”
Yet another fan simply wrote:
“LOL, he’s a good sport.”
