“You look at someone like Justin Gaethje. If Khabib doesn’t catch on that man he’s in trouble. You watch the fight with Edson Barboza and Edson Barboza is a high-level striker but what really broke down Edson was what Justin started doing to him. He started whooping that calf kick”.

“Right before I fought Dominick as I went on YouTube, this is maybe an hour before I went to the arena. I just put on some Justin Gaethje highlights. Just ruthless, man. Just swinging those kicks with bad intentions. All those kicks just to murder you”-Henry Cejudo.

In light of this reveal, his victory seems even more impressive in hindsight. Cejudo was able to effectively shut down Cruz and his elusive movement. Not to mention he became the first fighter to stop Cruz via strikes. ‘The Messenger’ maneuvered Cruz onto a heavy knee after slowing down Dominick’s movement.

Cejudo made the necessary adjustments that finally lead to the finish. Seemingly thanks are owed to Justin Gaethje.
