Gaethje changed his wrestling style so he can be a more entertaining fighter, and he had that pressure and brawling style so he can entertain the crowd as much as possible while having a disregard for his health to do so. even now that he doesn't fight like that and is a lot more technical and sharp, he's still entertaining as hell(for me he's more entertaining now compared to his brawler days)and that's exactly why I don't understand how some people hate on him, I feel like you have to be a low-life to hate on a fighter that tries so hard to entertain you.

[@restartmyisekai4942]

Only hate I've ever seen was warranted and that's when he was talking mad shit about Oliveira after he hid in a hole cause Khabib choked em out.
