Justin Gaethje is a professional prize fighter currently based out of Arvada Colorado.
Gaethje started wrestling with his twin brother when they were four-year-olds back home in Safford, Arizona. After two high school state championships, he chose UNC for the season changes, the snow, the city of Greeley, the chance to get away from bad influences back home, and most importantly, wrestling.
He arrived at UNC in 2007 and went on to earn the first Division I All-American honors in the program's history, earning seventh place in the 2010 nationals.
He dipped into MMA when fighters trained with his wrestling team on campus at The University of Northern Colorado. He started taking amateur fights during summers, fighting and winning a total of seven times. He earned his nickname, "The Highlight," because he'd just pick people up and slam them down, he says. After all, he'd never trained for MMA or learned fighting technique.
Even if he didn't have formal training in his early fighting days, he had what his current coach Trevor Wittman, owner of Grudge Training Center in Arvada, calls the "walk of a champion." Gaethje is coachable, willing to learn, makes good intuitive decisions while fighting, does more than he's asked, has a will to win, and will do anything for anybody.
Many of those qualities stood out as Gaethje studied Human Services at UNC. One of his professors, Jill Bezyak, says he could always make the class laugh, especially if he sensed his classmates getting tense.
"He's one of those people that, probably without knowing it, works to help other people feel better," Bezyak says. "He can operate at whatever level is needed."
He takes that sense with him both into the human services field - he wants to work with at-risk youth when he retires from fighting - and into the cage.
i tune into these with food in hand like someone juss released a blockbuster haha
Ahh I miss blockbuster!! Fuck Netflix hahahaha
Same but with a j lol
Me too man haha
Me too man. Be it while eating breakfast, lunch or dinner.
same ⭐
Hearing those punches land on Tony with no crowd, was absolutely brutal. The downfall of Tony begun after that night.
downfall of tony began after injuring his knee by tripping in the wire
@@CombatCLIPZZ955 idk guys, to me he looks like stupid
Agreed, the only reason that fight didn't go down as one of, if not the best ever, was their was no crowd...A crowd would have gone crazy for that fight, and made it even more electric - It was the most brutal fight I ever watched live, and you knew Tony would never be the same again... Thanx a lot to our corrupt government for robbing that from a live crowd-
@@CombatCLIPZZ955 nope. Had nthing to do with it.. This fight took tonys edge. Tony left some of himself in the cage that night The stupid ass wire injury didnt hurt tony in this fight.
tony got his bottom whooped
Chandler is an animal. It's like he wanted to make the fight of the year and didn't care about winning or losing. When he said he "wanted to make a highlight or be part of Gaethje's highlight" he actually meant it. Just savage.
Savage or STUPID. So, I'm going to go with stupid while you go with "savage." And as it turned out, the results agree with my assessment, not yours. And given the fact that he can't seem to even buy a win in the UFC, I am going to double down on that stupid assessment because his fight IQ is one of the lowest I have ever seen for a "professional MMA fighter." He runs in with his hands down, head forward, and swings as if he's never had a boxing lesson in his life.
I sure hope he does not fight like that against the golden child, going to be target practice if so
And knocked dustin porier out today. What a fighter.
Really cool of Tony to go back and congrat Justin. Sometimes it just takes a minute to accept the outcome.
This dudes fight with Tony was the best display of boxing I’ve ever seen. And I won championships in 2010 and 2011 boxing. Also keep in mind- his coach Trevor Whitmans resume is also recorded everytime he fights.
My braaather: Saturday night, with no plans in sight, but with something important to celebrate, journaling it with some marijane, and your notification pops off, happy fathers day.
Tool playing in the background of the first 4 mins. Sick!
I love both Gaethje and Ferguson but it's actually difficult to watch Tony get pummeled. The guy is all heart and too tough for his own good
Watching it live on tv was really hard. When he started shaking his head I damn near walked out
The way he seems to try and shake out the cobwebs, and his equilibrium is off... it's like something from a movie.
Ferguson's mindset was legendary. But if he had trained under a real coach (he never had an actual coach) just imagine how good he could have been. Imagine if Tony had trianed at AKA with Cain and Khabib and had a real coach, in Javier Mendez?
@@Ritalie it's funny you should say that - I think Eugene or Trevor would've got the best from him. Tony for all his wonderful quirks, sadly - is more likely to get sucked in by a charlatan like Fabio though.
Justin " Soulsnatcher " Gaethje in that fight. Tony never been right since.
to put chael as an " undefeated mixed martial artist " was hilarious🤣
The first part saved me from going crazy during quarentine and without internet, so epic to see part 2❤️
without internet :^)
@@klausfischig9796 Where is part one man ive been looking for it for ages
How can you not respect Gaethje? He's the man at 155 next to Charlie Olives
lost to poirier though?
@@BRAHZZ that was a while ago. I personally think Michael Chandler is better than Dustin, Charlie and Gaethje, except he has issues with taking his time to get the job done. I've seen Chandler reading comments on YT, taking critisicism constructively. He's commented on a few vids around YT.
@@DoubtingThomas333 he'll be back at Bellator soon
@@gti5700 almost beat Oliveira, Gaethje couldn't finish him... Impressive first few fights in the UFC if you ask me.
@@DoubtingThomas333 3 fights in UFC and 1 win. Almost winning a fight isnt gunna cut it lmao
When Justin got dropped by Tony that was the most telegraphed upper cut I’ve ever seen from anyone. He was feeling real comfortable.
You and MixedMollyWhopper are the only ones I’ll purposefully block off time to watch when I see a new video. Just incredible stuff. I miss the Johnny Walker video, can’t believe the UFC is taking this stuff down when it’s free advertising lol
Bruh. You got to check out Napoleon Blownapart. His series on Pride is 👌
Napoleon Blownapart, MMW, and EFC are my favorite. Absolutely check out Napoleon Blownapart's two PRIDE video's, phenomenal.
@@Ben-xf7uy Will do, thanks for the recommendation!
Yall blessed me with some fire ass channels. Appreciate it, was binge watching the pride series at work today. Great video's in all facets.
Fuck yeah! The Bill Burr of MMA content creators! MixedMollyWoppery crushes it
25:55. Wow. Just wow. Michael Chandler's mindset and his speech here gives me chills. This man has one of the most inspirational minds in the entire sport.
Definitely a fresh breathe of air whenever I hear him talk
You're easily impressed.
It felt fake to me, I'm happy it moved you.
Tito Ortiz
this was so fantastic brother honestly best mma documentaries on youtube this may sound crazy but it would be so sick if you could do a documentary of the lightweight divison 2016-2022
Vouch
Yes
+1
+1 and yes this movie is absolutely lit af ! love every second of it.
Bro, a fucking Tool song and an EFC video on Justin, a match made in heaven.
Name of song?
@@Nobodys_safe Stinkfist🤟🏻
That Tony fight man.. still breaks my heart every time I see it. I remember being so excited to watch the first card after the pandemic started. I was rooting for El Cucuy, hoping that we’d FINALLY get to see the fight with Khabib. The entire lead up to that interim title fight was a string of probably the worst decisions in Tony’s life, none of which would have been a problem individually but collectively ended the career of one of my favorite fighters. He didn’t have to do that first weight cut just to show he could. He didn’t have to fight gaethje and risk his legacy and his historic win streak, could have just waited for the travel bans to be lifted and Khabib could return. Or he could have waited a month or two to fight Justin so that his body could recover from the first weight cut and he could properly train for the most dangerous opponent he ever faced. Idk man, I feel so sad every time I think of Tony that I barely even talk about him anymore.
True shit...that was one of the worst beatdowns anyone has ever received. It was horrible to watch Tony get destroyed even though I was rooting for Gaethje. I figured if anyone had a chance to defeat Khabib, it would be Justin... especially after this win.
Facts tho
He would have lost to Khabib too
😂😂
Gaethje is the most exciting fighter in the UFC and a just bleed™ god. He never has a boring fight.
He really is a blood god lol
When Tony shook his head right before Herb stopped it. That was some extreme violence.
Kind of hard to watch and I'm a huge fan of of all that sh!t but my God that's career ending punishment
@@EMal-mf9pc yeah and now Tony will face Chandler. I love Tony but I feel like this will be the end for Tony...
Hearing the shots land with no crowd makes you realize just how hard they’re landing and how tough these guys are to take them.
Tony is a real warrior man, taking constant damage and he just walks right back in the fire.
I love the pure inspiration that Justin and Chandler bring. They have no quit and such belief in their journey that you can't but admire them. As a person who has failed mentally so many times and chosen to take the easiest road and hope that someone else picks me up it's still difficult to understand people who have this frame of mind to the extreme. I could never be someone like these people whether it's my DNA or upbringing but I'm mentally weak. If I could live my life again and knew then what I know now you can bet your life I would do many things differently but how do you teach a young dreamer to be disciplined and focused. I'm too old and too permanently physically damaged to change much. At get a good feeling though from these warriors that if you want it and learn it early enough then tomorrow is your oyster!!
Michael Johnson fight was a beautiful trade of bombs. Gaetje embodies what it means to be a Scorpio.
gotta admit, being a mix of German and Mexican is strange, so I'm not surprised how much Gaethje stands out. dude is nothing like other fighters.
We're all wild and "weird" mixes at this point, some just have more heart than others.
I am German and Cherokee. Lol
@@johnbraucher1499 Italian, Cherokee and Spanish primarily here but there's like 4 others if I wanted to get specific lol.
There's whole towns in Mexico that are German.
Yeah you are all american only
Great compilation! You do a great job of creating a story line that keeps the viewers attention. Justin is a beast. One time I met him snowboarding at Copper mountain, he’s an animal even on the slopes!
Coming back to this video after Saturday gotta give credit there's not a lot of guys that stay in the pocket like justin dose no matter who's in front of him a true warrior.
Joe rogans words are bang on. In a sport thats inherently violent, he stands out as the most violent. The ref in the ferguson fight probably took 5 years off tonys life for letting it go that long and not stopping ut when he was down and justin is literally begging him to stop it
This was an absolute BATTLE. I cant help but to have such a respect for these two men. Holy geeze. Such a fullfilling fight, as a fan myself, to watch.
Gaethje is the most exciting fighter on the planet IMO! Never a dull moment in his fights.
I got chills when JG said he and Khabib both would die for this. You can feel that he really meant it
The music alone is amazing, only thing better than the selection is the timing of the music.
Nice of you to include Uncle Chael's opinion. Always good to hear it from the GOAT
He's undefeated mixed martial artist
never lost a round actually
33:53 I LOVE the shockwave effect you put on that uppercut, cause I feel it's a true representation of how it felt for Chandler, great video my man! 👊😎
As a 20 year old martial arts fan trying to get into mma this video inspired me and got me so hype. Imma watch this before training
Go for it bro gotta start somewhere.
The Stinkfist audio on the opening fight was PERFECT!!
Tell me how can a fan of MMA and o guy who likes the fights doesn't like and give total respect to Khabib Nurmagomedov? He's really a great guy in life and a great champion the best ever in his field of professionalism.
Thank you for producing these documentaries on so many fighters, always amazingly done and their stories told. Never missed a video.
OMG THE FIRST PART WAS BEST EVER "HIGHLIGHT" !!!! And this 2nd was perfect!! Thanks!!!
Justin is the best example of beautiful violence since Carlos Condit
Justin is certainly my favorite fighter from this era. Original & shows what mma is about, which people seem to forget is respect your opponent. Also I love the music & editing for these videos, outstanding job & thank you.
I’ve never been so nervous in my life as a Justin G fight day. Not even in my own fights. I really really respect this guy!
Justin is truly my favorite fighter! Such a hard working class act guy! I hope he wins the belt one day!! 💪💪👑👑
Got Gaethje winning his next fight, and then probably making the Poirier v Gaethje 2 fight. Nothing but fireworks across the board
Before that takedown from Khabib, Justin was getting some HARD shots on him. Nobody talks about the chin of Khabib but I don't think he'd have gotten where he did without it. Granted, not many people got the chance to test his chin. Gaethje was special for that, in my opinion.
That fight is insane. Gaethje is known for devastating power and Khabib was just rushing at him and didn't care if he took some shots. Khabib always had great pressure, but this was different. It's like he just wanted the fight to be over.
@@evanparrafx Yeah, and the mutual respect was refreshing.
TEAM GAETHJE FOR LIFE!!
so hard to dislike justin. Guy is all heart, classy inside and outside the ring and an absolutely ruthless fighter.
After that London UFC fight night two days ago I was still buzzing all day Sunday so I rewatched several old UFC events that Gaethje headlined. Favorite fighter 💯 so much fun to watch this man cook in his kitchen
Khabib was portrayed as a mythical, scary creature that came and went… destroying everything and everybody in his path. Very ominous with that music… just shows how good he was if that’s how he dismantled Justin.
Great video. Gaethje is a real monster but so is Charles Oliviera. It's honestly a 50/50 fight
I think Charles chokes him out an he goes to sleep an it will be light work
@@christhomas7515 If it's a patient, calm Justin Gaethje with the right gameplan, it's going to be hell for Oliveira
Oliviera is nowhere near as violent as Gaethje. He couldn’t even stand against Ferguson when they fought..
@@theovermansailor5519 will see. Olivera has better stand up IMO and he will show how garbage Justin's wrestling is.
@@BarakaUglyyAhhJustin will say goodbye to that belt real quick if even gets it. Dustin gets the W 10 out of 10 times fighting Justin. Yall sleeping on charles
And the god of MMA keeps delivering :). EFC is starting to become my favorite channel in the fight game!
We've been blessed with what we've seen over the last couple of decades. 👌
It's rare to find a highlight with a good taste of music ! thank you man , keep going 👍
Ima simple man. I see justin gaethje. I click. And i watch
11:27, damn sad to see Rumble in the picture, what a legend. Thank you for another masterpiece my friend, just never stop giving us this type of material hahah 💚
Best MMA videos in the world! Love watching these, get me so pumped for the fighter. Would love to see a Leon Edwards or Paul Craig one next 👌🏼 top work as always!
Bruh the sound track is absolutely beautiful it pumps me up!!! Wooooo!!!
We need a part 3 after the multiple wars Justin’s had since! Charles, fiziev, Dustin 2 and Soon Max!!!
THANK YOU!This one was my favorite.
We need a part one re-release! That one was my favorite!
32:20watching this video over and over again, this part was SO BADASS, you are so creative man it’s like you use music based on the fighters themselves and how they fight
May i ask whats the music called at that part? 😁😂
@@ognjenognjen1218 Well I don’t know but he has the music creator in his description
@@ognjenognjen1218 the one once they started fighting is a guitar solo of Drowning pool Bodies
rad doc as usual. but, does anyonw else miss the EFC music they used to play in the old old videos. I love that intro song always got me hyped.
amazing intro to match the symphony of violence 🔥🔥
As a fight fan appreciate how accurate and awesome of a job you did on this Thanks and keep em comin !
Can you ever really lose when you are such a humble soul ?
When Justin is done fighting , he better be in the hall of fame, he out skilled Conor by a million times.
This and part one is my pre-Workout. Great job.
finally .. I mean seriously, finally .. a video without ....................... thank you so much
This was the best video I have ever seen. Everything the music, the quality, sick
Loved this! Justin is my favorite fighter and you knocked it out of the park with another badass video!
That's my favorite vid I can't remember how many times I rewatched part 1.
Perfect music choices on this one 👌
I like Gaethje but I can’t forgive him for what he did to my boy Tony man 😔 he ain’t the same anymore
It was one of those career altering fights, no human can take a beating like that and be the same, very sad :( I hope Tony doesn't take another one of those against Chandler when they fight.
Tony did that to himself in the words of Teddy Atlas "he doesn't fight long" and he had 7" reach advantage of Justin, he said that about Dan Hooker but it applies on that fight as well.
@@jamesw512 same here man. Wishful thinking but how dope would it be if we saw Tony comeback again on a 12 winning streak!
Bruh, that shit hurt to watch. Tony gave out so many of those ass whoopings, that he finally got his.
@@MILEStoner86 fr man. If it wasn’t for the 1 sec left after tony dropped justin who knows what would’ve happened
Yessssss part 1 was the shit!! Thank you...
great video and spot on...regardless of the outcome with Olivera you know the highlight is going to deliver part 3
The audio fits perfectly 🤌🏼
This edit has woke up something in me i didn't think was possible
No one is promoting mma fighters better than elite fight club. Not even the ufc
I love these videos. The RAW is what we need and what you got. You have and we get it. Thank you🙏🏼
Another upload. Great work mate, always look forward to these.
You should be a proud man. You are 2nd to no other man.enjoy and God bless you. Thank you so much
I've just discovered your channel, on the first video still, but man this is the best compilation doc I've seen. The pace, build up, suspense, storytelling, editing and all that with publicly available material. Thank you so much for the time and effort that went into this. Your work reminds me of Walter Benjamin's essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
I watch shit like this constantly. Good work. Loved it.
The 155lb division has some of the greatest Fighters of any weight class in any fight promotion.
He is a good man with a great talent. We all love justin 🖤
after ufc 300, we need part 3 💯
I've watched part 1 an unhealthy amount of times. This one will be no different. Great stuff bro!
Hey where do i find part 1 ????
Would love a track list to this!!!! Bangers everywhere
Same, let me know if you find one!
I love Gaethje. He's so violent but such a nice guy.
Great job with this channel. Amazing editing.
This series was amazingly edited with all the lead up, like watching a documentary on Netflix
Tony is an animal tho.the way he was taking them shots..ugh I was feeling them. HE KEPT COMING THO
PART 1? :D thanks!!! GREAT WORK, MAMMA MIA!!!!
Great video! Thank you for motivating us!
EFC Doing UFC's work for 'em. Keep it up, brother!
