LAS VEGAS – Justin Gaethje realized he did better than he thought in his UFC 300 knockout loss.
Gaethje (25-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) was knocked out in the last second of his BMF title fight against Max Holloway last April. Although he was down on the scorecards, Gaethje saw the fight differently when he watched it back for the first time.
“I just watched the Max fight today for the first time,” Gaethje told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a news conference Wednesday. “I actually think I fought really well. It was just, he was so great. He fought really well that night. Even if I go back to (the fighter I was in my WSOF days), I’m still a much more refined athlete in my skills.
