His response on the BMF belt was excellent

[@Archambo88]

Couldn't agree more, he wanted to say he didn't care about it but instead bullet pointed the positives. Company man right there

[@marcusmustard8285]

I love listening to Gaethje interviews. He is super down to earth. He is also considerate and professional, to the reporters. Gaethje gives honest and entertaining insights in to professional sports.

[@user-kv5nb8li8m]

You say down to earth as if you knew him stfu

[@grandmastersub]

Bulked full camp Jerome Holloway will take the BMF 💪💯.

You’re a BMF! ❤

[@Msanch17]

He should have went half Apollo creed

[@tylerbolis5137]

I thought he had on shades this whole time

[@marcusmustard8285]

Mike Bohn shooting high for 300k bonus. I agree it is far fetched. 100k sounds good!

[@user-fo9gt5ri8f]

I mean it would make sense tho

[@chaboi7]

Should've been 100k 10 years ago

[@ChrisF-fx5du]

I don't know why but i believe him

[@AkiraIsMissing]

Hope he planned accordingly

[@magickmike6510]

Wow last statement. " i dont usually plan on being alive after fight nights" absolute gangster

[@DixonButts-69]

Nah that's early onset CTE

[@charlescharlemagne4907]

Glad Gaethje spoke up about the win bonuses. Dana still being cheap shelling out 50K like Bidenflation hasnt reduced that a ton from what it was years ago

[@nickster3008]

THE WORD THAT JUSTIN USES ALOT IS RESPECT .. THATS WHAT HUMANS NEED TO LEARN . Anyone with that is decent

[@JohnnyVega-cc2rq]

Next time spell EVERYTHING OUT IN CAPS or else no one will take you seriously...

[@nickster3008]

Oscar you have the coke nose today

[@geeemqu]

His swing sure is ugly, indeed! Good he recognizes that.

[@PNW_STEFF]

USA USA USA

[@chaboi7]

Max is American also

[@-Marsz]

You guys always ask the same questions shits sucks

[@davidharcula2933]

Still myself and my two kids wr chased you Justin gahjie they were kid but mostly the security guard s n police push you padt us fans this in Florida

[@c-mo313]

Bruh, what?

[@BigDripJames]

Well no one has ever actually died in the ufc so let's hope and pray it stays that way. It's a sport. I understand he's trying to being "tough" and "gangster" but there is no gangsterness in death, only tradegy and extreme pain that never goes away for loved ones. Shouldn't be thrown around so lightly. This is fighting but it's not gladiators to the death. I think figthers should calm down with that kind of talk because no paycheck or pride is worth losing life. This is coming from a Justin fan but I don't support that comment. Win the fight that's what you are there for. Not to risk your life.

[@noahahlers4740]

I dont think you can go out there and fight like Justin does without the acceptance and peace that you might die or take serious bodily harm. I'm sure he doesn't want to die in the fight but in order to fight at the level he does and the style he does then he has to be at peace with that mentally.

[@BigDripJames]

If death was even a 1 in 1000 chance then the fights shouldn't happen. Fortunately there's probably been more that many ufc fights and no one has died so why even bring it up? Just seems a little over board and extreme.

[@kevin41780]

stupid questions, wtf was that bs.

[@marcusmustard8285]

The reporters that ask questions about UFC 350, or UFC in june july august do a terrible job. I hate hearing it as a fan. It makes me feel dis-respected. I wish to hear questions that promote UFC 300, this weekend.

[@UDDomieru]

Fake belt

[@syntholshoulders1842]

CANT wait FOR MAX TO SHOW THIS KLOSN MMA A MASTERPIECE N DEFEAT THIZ KLOWN

[@jvelz7141]

The only clown here is you 🤡

[@9tailskyle]

Hope Justin loses. Just an incredibly unlikable guy
