Justin Gaethje recently described what his perfect UFC fighter would look like.
Following his dominant win over Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324 to become the first two-time interim champion in the promotion’s history, Justin Gaethje has been featured in multiple interviews and shows.
Recently, during a sit-down with Paramount UFC, ‘The Highlight’ got a chance to build his perfect UFC fighter by choosing the best attributes from various stars.
To start with the buildup, Gaethje ticked off the wrestling department first by picking his former opponent, the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov.
For submissions, he went with Brazilian jiu-jitsu phenom and former champ Charles Oliveira. Next, for cardio and stamina, ‘The Highlight’ had Merab Dvalishvili’s name on his mind.
Lastly, for speed, he picked Michael Johnson, and coming to power, he chose former UFC heavyweight kingpin Francis Ngannou.
