SALT LAKE CITY – Justin Gaethje doesn’t hold the lightweight title, but he’s in an unusual position where he may hold a lot more cards than most top contenders.
In the UFC 291 main event Saturday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Gaethje (25-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) once again lived through frames of his life that would’ve been unconceivable decades ago.
“This is such a cool life,” Gaethje told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “I couldn’t imagine I’d be here as a child. I thank God every day for this.”
