Justin really is an amazingly exciting fighter. His resume speaks for itself.

[@blackslav1497]

ya no sh*t. thats what like the start of this interview was about. Also why his name is "highlight". sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ya.

[@kaali_619]

Yeah but with no brains. If only Gaethje and Chinler had little brains, they'd be far better fighters

[@extbr3akz]

and on Comparism to Rafael Fiziev - defo Way more of Respect. Rafael should calm down a bit, it makes him such an unsymphatic Person

[@icecoldyellowredbull]

Let’s go highlight!

I agree to all said here. That being said. The only way forward for justin is wrestling. Other than Dustin the top 3 are all grappler. Islam,Charles, and Benny. Unfortunate for us we have alot of fights coming that will look alot like the Yan merab fight did and in most weight classes.

Most Violent fighter in the UFC vs The Best Striker in the UFC!! What division has that, the lightweight division is the most entertaining hands down. Can’t wait for Oliviera vs Dariush next, the fighter with most submissions in the UFC vs the second highest wins streak in the LW division!!

I love how Justin is coming out already focusing on his next opponent. Gatheje is a Killer that’s exactly the mindset that’s made him such a problem. With that being said Rafael is not to be underestimated. This should be an exciting matchup to find out who that next guy is in the lightweight division.

[@jogoonerz]

He literally said he’s not overlooking or looking past his next opponent.

I like Gaethje but he has too many holes and it seems like if he doesn't care about fixing them. With the right IQ he can beat Fiziev even without using his wrestling. He needs to pace himself properly learn how to use his jab like Usman and don't throw haymakers every single time.
