Justin Gaethje. What does this name bring to mind?

Explosiveness. Savagery.

Jaw-dropping amounts of violence in each and every fight he has been a part of since he burst onto the national scene in the World Series of Fighting.

All of these responses are spot-on. This has only continued as he has made his two-fight foray into the UFC. Now, Gaethje is getting ready for his third outing. He’ll stand opposite former ranked featherweight and current ranked lightweight Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier.

Usually the discussion surrounds Gaethje and the violence he hands out. Let’s not shy away from that, but here’s a different take on the former WSOF lightweight champ and how his fighting style and specific techniques allow him to minimize the effect of the offensive assaults he endures from his opponents.
