Justin Gaethje let it be known last weekend that he wasn’t happy with how the crew on UFC Philadelphia’s post-fight show on ESPN+ seemed to be goading him into a fight with ESPN broadcaster and fellow UFC lightweight Paul Felder.
Although Gaethje downplayed the incident afterward, not wanting it to steal away shine from his sensational first-round knockout of Edson Barboza that evening, the 30-year-old lightweight contender did explain on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour that the main gripe he had with the situation was an issue of professionalism, or lack thereof.
