Justin Gaethje is one of those fighters whose fighting style attracts fans to the cage, and he has also fought a lot of times in the UFC. In victories, he has been presented with certain challenges; similarly, in losses, he has been victorious. However, none of them could compare to his defeat at the hands of Anderson Silva at UFC 300.

In the final event, the BMF Championship, Justin Gaethje was knocked out for one second before the final round and lost the match against Max Holloway. The defeat put him on the floor face down, it is considered to be one of the bitter moments in his fighting career.

Reflecting on his Career

In an interview with the reporters, Justin Gaethje was asked about his plans in combat sports. He acknowledged the knockout was tough but disagreed with the idea that it was time to retire. He has not given up on the title shot yet but said it is not easy for him to forecast his destiny, he stated;

If I ever go to sleep, like I just went to sleep, I’m done. I’m not doing it two more times. I’ll do that one more time if I have to, I’m not choosing that, but it’s always a possibility, and if it happens, I’m done. But outside that, I don’t know, it’s hard to put a number.

His reluctance to commit to a specific timeline underscores the uncertainty, that often accompanies a fighter’s career. He looks dedicated to the forthcoming fights after a defeat in UFC 300. He remains committed to his belligerent and aggressive tactics.

He mentioned some fighters as possible candidates to fight with him and get him back into the title picture. Among them, are Dustin Poirier, Charles Oliveira, Dan Hooker, and former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.

The durability of Gaethje comes out again as the feature required and demonstrated in the wake of a massive loss.
