Justin Gaethje will take to the UFC octagon this weekend, looking to become the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. Gaethje is the interim UFC lightweight champion and will look to unify the belts against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Ahead of his upcoming main event fight at UFC 254, Gaethje has been doing the media rounds. In a recent interview with TSN on their YouTube channel, Justin opened up about his personal life.

The reporter quizzed Gaethje on his unconditional upbringing, “I learned a lot about your upbringing recently, that your mom used to drug test you to make sure that you weren’t taking drugs, and that you were staying on the straightened arrow and wouldn’t allow you to go for sleepovers at friend’s houses.”

“I think it should be traditional,” ‘The Highlight’ replied. “My parents, you know, are my support system. If I was ever to mess up the last thing they were going to do is kick me out of the house.”

“They’re gonna lock me in my room and make sure that I’m in my room.” Gaethje abode by his parent’s belief that “Until you’re 18, you don’t have the ability to make the choices that you should be making.”

“I’m glad she drug tested me every week.” The interim UFC lightweight champion continued, “Because I wasn’t in a position to not make terrible choices.”

Justin Gaethje credits discipline and routine

‘The Highlight’ is one of the most focused athletes in the fight game today. He holds a record of 22-2, winning 19 of those fights by KO/TKO.

Gaethje credits his upbringing to the discipline instilled in him to become the athlete he is today. “It was everything.” Justin continued, “My life has been organized and planned for me in a sense since I was a child.”
