Sitting cageside at UFC 281 last Saturday, Justin Gaethje watched Michael Chandler drip in blood and fight valiantly before submitting to Dustin Poirier. Only a year removed from his own iconic performance at Madison Square Garden, Gaethje can still hear the thunderous roar of the crowd as he defeated Chandler by unanimous decision, winning one of the most violent, explosive bouts in UFC history.
“That was something special,” Gaethje says. “Nothing out-tops that.
“The easy part was when I was in the battle. In the moment, there was no time to think. You are either are or you’re not.”
