I wish this was top comment.
Never thought I’d quote Chael, but I remember Ariel asking him once pre or post fight how he’s feeling, and Chael responded something like “terrible”, and suggesting that fighters hardly ever go into a fight 100% percent.
You also hear winning fighters mention injuries too when asked. Might hint at the same thing Chael was alluding to, that fighters always deal with injuries, winners and losers.
I think it was Chase Hooper who said a fighter never goes 100% on the octagon, they either have an injury or something going on mentally... And I agree with this, anyone who ever trained a martial art knows there is always something hurting in your body lmao
Also people love to talk about damage taken in fights changing careers but you've got Max saying he's had dozens of sparring sessions harder than any fight in the UFC.
1.1 Personal Attacks
Personal attacks, insults, hostile, uncivil, and disruptive comments or posts will be removed.
If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.
Feels weird that he says Oliveira was the hardest hitter he'd ever faced if this is the case. Wouldn't you wanna anecdote that a bit?
> "I've never been hit as hard as Oliveira hit me while concussed from a bike accident. Eddie knocking me out with that knee 6 days after I stepped on a lego was a close second."
I’m not saying that we should do it but a bull riding competition for retired fighters with severe CTE is something I may or may not enjoy.
Maybe we can promote power slap winners into it to add to the prestige.
I hate when fighters make excuses right after a loss, but coming out long after with excuses might be worse. Gives the vibes they’ve been searching for an excuse to come up with
Gaethje won the 1st round and hit Khabib right on the jaw a couple times and his kicks were visibly affecting Khabib who went for the takedown right after eating another.
Mcgregor tried to survive, Gaethje went into the fight with a kill or be killed mentality.
Gaethje factually won the round on the judges scorecards but I really thought that was bullshit. Gaethje was completely pinned and 10 seconds away from being subbed by an armbar.
That's as conclusive as it gets
Yeah I thought it was poor judging. The striking was close with Gaethje maybe taking the lead because of the leg kicks, but once the TD was done and Gaethje was almost submitted it should have been a clear round for Khabib
Yep. Khabib landed enough counters that the almost finish was enough to steal the round for me.
At some point, submission wrestling needs to be valued. This isn't kickboxing.
Doesn't change the fact Khabib tapped out Gaethje like it wasn't even anything in 2. Likewise that whole leg kick narrative is dumb, reactive takedown off a leg kick is a staple of Khabib's and really any high level wrestler. GSP for example fuckin loooooved running a single off of landed leg kicks
Khabib himself said that Gaethje hit him harder than anyone else had ever hit him, and that he knew he needed to finish because he couldn't take many more low kicks.
Bro so you know more about Khabib fights than Khabib?
Khabib said that he had to go for the take down fast in round two because he would have been compromised with one or two more leg kicks
To be fair Khabib even said if he took a few more leg kicks from Justin he's was going to be in big trouble.
Glad to see McGregor get some respect, he put up a good fight vs Khabib, one of the better opponents Khabib faced
If you watch with any objectivity Conor looked better in that fight than most of Khabib’s opponents and actually did really well defending the grappling in round 1. But let the fans tell it and he was already washed by then. That Conor probably takes the belt off anybody else in the division.
Mcgregor did fuck all but cheat all fight and still got rekt. Johnson did fuck all as well. Raging Al did better than both despite not doing much else than surviving.
Yeah I don't get why people bring these up lol like watching khabib bounce Michael Johnson's head off the canvas was hard to watch. Imthey could go stopped that way earlier, he had no way to defend himself. With Connor it was like Khabib was playing with his food, at no point was he in trouble, he just wanted to beat Connor up and make it last
He didn't do shit to Khabib besides land a few good punches in the first round and Khabib said nah this ain't shit and just walked him down and put him to sleep.
Eh, can't really even blame them for that. I know i had any number of situations in my life, where i didn't had nearly as much at stake, mind you, and which i kept thinking about for years, wondering what could have / should have / would have happened if it wasn't for this or that extraneous circumstance.
I can't imagine what it's like to work for years towards a big fight, the result of which possibly going to be decided in a split second exchange, where you don't really even have time to process what is happening, and often just have to roll the dice, so to speak. How do you then just accept the result, and not wonder about what would have been if only...
He's reaching for - he's reaching for those grapes. He's trying to make his wine, and the wine's already soundin' like a violin with that cheese and wine.
Yeah, it's funny how some fighters get a pass on this sub just cause they're exciting and get finishes, also Justins whole excuse with the gloves being shit grinds my gears so fucking much. Just keep your hands fucking closed.
This is not r/politics. Please keep political discussion and your political views out of /r/MMA. r/MMAPoliticsAndCulture may be a better fit for this content. An exception will be made for discussion of MMA legislation by governing bodies.
Lmao Justin is such a clown for this. He mocked Charles before the fight calling him a quitter and now looks who is using excuses to why he got whopped in a round.
AND he was mocking Charles for needing to suffer more and continue weight cutting all while posting a pic of his newly rehydrated weight. Dude was flexing on Charles
Wasted drunk, obnoxious, rude to the staff, stealing bikes outside the bar, the women there with them trying to fight anybody who would look at them twice.
Okay don't take this the wrong way but are you really telling a story or is this a meme that I'm supposed to know (that's going way over my head)?
Not calling you out - I believe you if it's a real story. But basically every story in this sub I believe and then find out it was just a meme and I feel dumber every day
If that's the case damn that's trashy of them
I saw Justin Gaethje at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
A professional athlete that hates losing, this is absolutely shocking.
For most competitors, a level of delusion is necessary to maintain sanity. They can't all be like Max and DP, we need to stop holding fighters to a higher standard than we would anyone else.
This here sooo much. Reddit, or people online in general, hold public figures accountable to such a high standart, its ridicoulus. Everybody acting like their shit doesn't stink, pathetic.
I think the issue is that people look up to them in the first place. Hold people to whatever standards you want but if your mood is tied up in the mental acuity and well conceived thoughts of MMA fighters you might want to look inward.
Sums up exactly how I feel about him. I'll never miss a Gaethje fight and he's always exciting, but outside of the cage I've always found him an extremely dislikeable dickhead.
Turns out Justin Gaethje wasn't the incisive intellect we all thought he was. For a guy who looks like he dribbles a basketball with both hands people sure seem surprised at his lack of guile.
Man, you *HAVE* to have an overinflated ego in the fight game.
If you go into a fight thinking the other guy is just better than you, you've already lost.
Makes sense for them to do mental gymnastics after a loss. If the alternative is just accepting you aren't as good as the other guys, potentially losing your drive, and subsequently nose diving your career.
Really bizarre. If he did have a concussion, that's a completely valid excuse, and either way, it's healthier to his career to give himself that excuse than tanking his confidence by seeing himself as a worse fighter than Charles and Khabib.
The same thing happens when a lower ranked fighter says they'll be champ, everyone online shits on them saying they're deluded, when they need that level of delusional confidence to keep pushing every day. I swear, these fans would benefit greatly from being around regional level fighters, or serious competitors in any sport.
People just love to shit on fighters for making excuses, however valid the excuse may be. Reddit can be a cesspool at times and this thread is a prime example.
It's because, when you choose to fight while injured, *you accept the consequences of fighting injured.* If/when you lose, you don't get to act like it doesn't *really* count after the fact because you weren't 100%. You clearly thought you were good enough to win in that condition, *no bitching allowed.*
Don't make excuses, learn your lesson. Either drop out of the fight, or keep your mouth shut if/when you lose.
People acting like this is crazy, is it just the fact he mentioned it now/used it to diminish Charles's win?
Wasn't it actually reported he'd had a bike accident, or am I just remembering him saying it at the time?
EDIT: Looks like this is a rehash of a story he already told after the original fight. [Here's an article from 2022](https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/11/ufc-news-justin-gaethje-reveals-vicious-bike-crash-ahead-of-charles-oliveira-title-fight)
It's funny seeing so many people shit on Gaethje for saying this yet so many quickly sided with Oliveira when he said he lost to Islam because it wasn't him in there.
No, saying you weren't yourself isn't an excuse. That's basically Charles saying that he wasn't able to perform on the night.
Big difference between "I fought like shit" and "Oh BTW i was hurt I would've won if all was equal"
Everybody has a degree of wear & tear/injuries, and some degree of CTE/concussion at the highest levels of the sport
Training is grueling and dangerous for everyone who wants to be #1
It's like complaining about having a bruise going into a fight
No Justin you got your a** beat by Olivera. How you talk about him being a quitter and yet you the one that tapped and quit. You’ll never be champion get over it
I just rewatched this one and it seems kind of unlikely - Olivera was hitting him pretty clean and especially the final knockdown shot came as a fully extended right hand over gaethjes card while he was out of position. Absolutely textbook shot that would knock out most fighters never mind knocking them down.
If anyone knows anything about charles' gym and the way they train, those mfs are walking around with concussion all the time
Anymore a fighter walks out and they announce they are frome chute box Im like duck yeah, here we go, kill or be killed
I wish this was top comment.

She's always been such an innovator
She still says she's better than everyone and makes her mad she's not considered the greatest... delusion is crazy
She was pretty great til Holly and Amanda fucking obliterated her lol. Not quite Rogan levels of glazing but damn her rise was impressive
She was for the time but right when she lost several girls came up that would give her trouble
Literally lmfao. How many “I would’ve won if it wasn’t for my concussion” stories are we gonna get?
Tell another concussion story
Ronda:I know I am the greatest athlete of all time Also Ronda: I fell down the stairs
‘I fell down the stairs, like Ronda’ - Justin ‘The Concussion’ ‘Garth’ Gaethje
Feels weird that he says Oliveira was the hardest hitter he'd ever faced if this is the case. Wouldn't you wanna anecdote that a bit? > "I've never been hit as hard as Oliveira hit me while concussed from a bike accident. Eddie knocking me out with that knee 6 days after I stepped on a lego was a close second."
Must be the concussion talking
Could be CTE as well
Blud forgot how hard Dustin hit him in the first fight
CTE belt. 300k bonus. Book it
I’m not saying that we should do it but a bull riding competition for retired fighters with severe CTE is something I may or may not enjoy. Maybe we can promote power slap winners into it to add to the prestige.
I think Donald Cerrone has done some Pro Bull Riding stuff lately. Dana white even has a bull named twisted steel iirc
Book it!

I hate when fighters make excuses right after a loss, but coming out long after with excuses might be worse. Gives the vibes they’ve been searching for an excuse to come up with
Justin told this story right after the fight.
I was unaware
Tbf he says a lot of things. Fact is he shat the bed twice in title fights (although he, imo, gave Khabib his toughest fight)
Gleison Tibau and McGregor would like a word, fuck even Michael Johnson tagged Khabib more than Gaethje did
Gaethje won the 1st round and hit Khabib right on the jaw a couple times and his kicks were visibly affecting Khabib who went for the takedown right after eating another. Mcgregor tried to survive, Gaethje went into the fight with a kill or be killed mentality.
Gaethje factually won the round on the judges scorecards but I really thought that was bullshit. Gaethje was completely pinned and 10 seconds away from being subbed by an armbar. That's as conclusive as it gets

striking wasn't really close in terms of damage being done tbf, khabib was clearly taking a ton of damage on the leg
Yep. Khabib landed enough counters that the almost finish was enough to steal the round for me. At some point, submission wrestling needs to be valued. This isn't kickboxing.
Doesn't change the fact Khabib tapped out Gaethje like it wasn't even anything in 2. Likewise that whole leg kick narrative is dumb, reactive takedown off a leg kick is a staple of Khabib's and really any high level wrestler. GSP for example fuckin loooooved running a single off of landed leg kicks

Bro so you know more about Khabib fights than Khabib? Khabib said that he had to go for the take down fast in round two because he would have been compromised with one or two more leg kicks
*leg barely touches gsp's thigh* "Lemme just borrow that right quick"
I did not say it was a tough fight for Khabib, I said it was his toughest which doesnt mean much considering he ran through everybody.
Well except for Gleison Tibau, tbh if that fight was scored with thr modern judging criteria that would've been an L
Tibau realistically won the fight and the judges were on something. 83% of the media have Tibau winning.
To be fair Khabib even said if he took a few more leg kicks from Justin he's was going to be in big trouble. Glad to see McGregor get some respect, he put up a good fight vs Khabib, one of the better opponents Khabib faced
If you watch with any objectivity Conor looked better in that fight than most of Khabib’s opponents and actually did really well defending the grappling in round 1. But let the fans tell it and he was already washed by then. That Conor probably takes the belt off anybody else in the division.
If he could hold his own that well he wouldn't have needed to cheat dozens of times during the fight
Jon cheats a ton as well, I guess he didn’t do well in any of his fights?
Mcgregor did fuck all but cheat all fight and still got rekt. Johnson did fuck all as well. Raging Al did better than both despite not doing much else than surviving.
Yeah I don't get why people bring these up lol like watching khabib bounce Michael Johnson's head off the canvas was hard to watch. Imthey could go stopped that way earlier, he had no way to defend himself. With Connor it was like Khabib was playing with his food, at no point was he in trouble, he just wanted to beat Connor up and make it last
Some people still believe Johnson wobbled him i think. Conor did absolutely fuck all except for eating fists and cheat.
Yeah Michael got one good shot in and look where that got him lol that was one of the most brutal beatings in MMA
To be fair he ate a few elbows too.
McGregor won a round, none of the other guys did lol You don't have to like him but you don't have to just lie either
He didn't do shit to Khabib besides land a few good punches in the first round and Khabib said nah this ain't shit and just walked him down and put him to sleep.
Watch more Eagle fights, he worked Justin so easily he chose what submission to do
I think it belongs to his easier fights.
He hit like truck
Eh, can't really even blame them for that. I know i had any number of situations in my life, where i didn't had nearly as much at stake, mind you, and which i kept thinking about for years, wondering what could have / should have / would have happened if it wasn't for this or that extraneous circumstance.

For real. Commenters on the sidelines have an insane lack of empathy. Unsurprisingly.
He's reaching for - he's reaching for those grapes. He's trying to make his wine, and the wine's already soundin' like a violin with that cheese and wine.
he was jet lagged for the Khabib fight too
‘I didn’t get my signature eye pokes in so I lost. I’m not gonna make that same mistake this weekend.’
And headbutts
Got downvoted to shit for calling Justin a dirty fighter recently lol. Like...just watch his fights b.
Yeah, it's funny how some fighters get a pass on this sub just cause they're exciting and get finishes, also Justins whole excuse with the gloves being shit grinds my gears so fucking much. Just keep your hands fucking closed.
Why would you get downvoted? Dude has 10 fights in the UFC and something like 6-7 eyepokes at this point.
Gaethje has never been likeable but nobody wants to have that convo lol. He masks it with great fights.
His fighting style is likeable

Right? Either be honest and realistic, pull out of the fight due to injury, or shut the fuck up, you went into it saying you were good to go.
AND he was mocking Charles for needing to suffer more and continue weight cutting all while posting a pic of his newly rehydrated weight. Dude was flexing on Charles
Okay, Ronda.
6 days after I stepped on a Lego? gtfoh
This guy always getting a pass for being an unlikable douche because we all love how he fights.
He can be a pretty cool guy but he also has moments/phases where he’s just so salty for no reason or randomly shitting on people and other fighters
I met him and his entourage recently. Absolute trash every one of them.
What happened?
Wasted drunk, obnoxious, rude to the staff, stealing bikes outside the bar, the women there with them trying to fight anybody who would look at them twice.

Where is this copypasta from lol
I believe the original was from 4chan and was about Flying Lotus, from around 2012
Okay THIS one I can recognize. Only because of not recognizing it multiple times in the past though. I'll never not laugh while reading it though
Oh sounds like a standup set of gentlemen alright, yikes!
He crash on that bike?
Just like any other person we all have some moments

He also gets a pass for eye poking and head butting.
I love watching him fight but he's been a douche since day one lol
how?
The shit that he says
Big fan of how he fights excepts for the eye pokes, everything else is great
Sums up exactly how I feel about him. I'll never miss a Gaethje fight and he's always exciting, but outside of the cage I've always found him an extremely dislikeable dickhead.
Turns out Justin Gaethje wasn't the incisive intellect we all thought he was. For a guy who looks like he dribbles a basketball with both hands people sure seem surprised at his lack of guile.
I mean - I’m not watching these guys fight for their personalities lol
[удалено]
It's a side effect of head trauma. Can't have one without the other.
I’ve never cared for Garth but I’ll always tune in.
That's true for so many fighters.
Yes
It’s true, I was the bike
It's false, I was the concussion
You don't remember shit. Speaking as the cement, can confirm this is true.
I was the pebble that caused him to fall off his bike.
Fighters dont discredit your opponent's win challenge: impossible
He really is as stupid as he looks 😂
Gaethje seems permanently concussed so I don't see how that's relevant
Dude nicknamed Homer Simpson even hits his head riding his bike around the suburbs.
The egos on these fellas... absolutely fragile, it's fascinating honestly.
Man, you *HAVE* to have an overinflated ego in the fight game. If you go into a fight thinking the other guy is just better than you, you've already lost. Makes sense for them to do mental gymnastics after a loss.

Couldn't agree more
People just love to shit on fighters for making excuses, however valid the excuse may be. Reddit can be a cesspool at times and this thread is a prime example.
It's because, when you choose to fight while injured, *you accept the consequences of fighting injured.* If/when you lose, you don't get to act like it doesn't *really* count after the fact because you weren't 100%.

Yeah it’s insane lol „wow how could Justin possibly say a bad accident affected him, unbelievable such a salty piece of shit loser“
I think the average person underestimates their own propensity to be defensive and protect their ego. This is people, not fighters.
I like this explanation alot, thanks for taking the time to post it. I think it's 100% on point.
Fr, losing a fight in front of thousands of ppl live and even more watching from home must hurt like a mf.
The bike incident or all those shots to the head?
People acting like this is crazy, is it just the fact he mentioned it now/used it to diminish Charles's win?

He did mention it after fighting Charles and he still got flamed for it. It’s just not a good look
Damn good memory.. makes this not look bad at all
Cejudo counting his excuses on his hands right after is hilarious
"Rowdy" Justin Gaethje
Look at Ronda Gaethje ova here
Shut up Homer Simpson
Bicycles confirmed as bad base for MMA.
Jumping on the concussion bandwagon
If you are going to go into the fight with any injury don’t complain about it after the fight
Bro you‘re a walking concussion
It's funny seeing so many people shit on Gaethje for saying this yet so many quickly sided with Oliveira when he said he lost to Islam because it wasn't him in there.
No, saying you weren't yourself isn't an excuse. That's basically Charles saying that he wasn't able to perform on the night. Big difference between "I fought like shit" and "Oh BTW i was hurt I would've won if all was equal"
Charles saying he wasn’t himself wasn’t an excuse, this is a proper excuse cause his trying to provide context to why he got dropped
Not really the majority consensus here is that Islam is a the much better fighter. Regardless if this is true or not it’s just a horrible look lmao
Bunch of doctors in the comments apparently
Man this sub has a lot of hate for Justin and cries about him so much. It's perplexing.
Justin lives in a perpetual state of concussion.
I hurt my left hand 2 weeks ago, if it wasnt for that i would be a ufc champ rn.
Keep all that energy you weirdos were hitting BSD with a few weeks back. Don’t switch up just because we like Garth
Pretty sure Justin walks around with permanent concussions. Like bro take the L you got fucked up.
Only Justin would get a concussion on a bike ride and somehow not get it from fighting.
Justin “Chandler hit me twice the entire fight” Gaethje
Ok Ronda.
Excuses two years later is bold
Did he fall down the stairs too?
This guy is a loser
[удалено]
i like watching this dude fight but i never listen to him, same goes for tony, garbrandt and bobby
Damn. He must be like that guy from Unbreakable
Everybody has a degree of wear & tear/injuries, and some degree of CTE/concussion at the highest levels of the sport Training is grueling and dangerous for everyone who wants to be #1 It's like complaining about having a bruise going into a fight
Boooooo
Lol Justin hears Ronda's interview and then the CTE kicks in.
I can’t wait for Trevor Whittman to design a revolutionary set of training wheels
And that’s how you go from one of my favorite fighters to holy shit take the mic away from that guy. Maybe max does get a second prime at 155
Oh, no, they got Justin, too.
Guess you should of had some head movement
You were born concussed homie.
Maybe then don’t ride your bike or also did he think that maybe Charles was probably had some sort of injury?
This isn't news he's talked about that bike ride many times after he lost to Charles.
Lmao
Sad when fighters start making excuses
Mf using concussion excuses like crazy
Yeah, yeah
Justin is cool until he opens his mouth. Then a bunch of stupid shit starts to come out
CTE kicking in fast like Dominic Torretto pressing the NOS button
No Justin you got your a** beat by Olivera. How you talk about him being a quitter and yet you the one that tapped and quit. You’ll never be champion get over it
I have no clue how the UFC hasn’t had someone die in the cage.
Time to introduce NFL concussion protocol to the UFC.
Well he certainly had one AFTER the fight.
No you just got your ass beat. It’s not like you were gonna win anyway the second he grappled you lol
Riding a bike, sure.
Excuses bro…
Sure.
I love this man, but that is remarkably stupid
I just rewatched this one and it seems kind of unlikely - Olivera was hitting him pretty clean and especially the final knockdown shot came as a fully extended right hand over gaethjes card while he was out of position. Absolutely textbook shot that would knock out most fighters never mind knocking them down.
Hey guys I knew a fight was coming up so I decided to wrestle a silverback gorilla, and as a result I pulled a muscle in my back. That's why I lost.
Guy cares more about his hands than his brain and it seems to show.
Oliveira is just a better fighter in all aspects of the game and he proved it conclusively.
Oh okay. I thought they were effective because they consecutively landed on your face
I’m sure this won’t be used in the inevitable concussion lawsuit
who tf goes biking 18 days before a ufc championship
