Trevor Wittman: Justin Gaethje has been able to keep his ‘most important weapon hidden’ ahead of UFC 254

Justin Gaethje has shown a lot of different skills and attributes during his fighting career.

He’s definitely one of the most exciting athletes to ever compete in MMA. He combines stopping power on the feet with a tenacious, aggressive style that has been nearly impossible to stop. Gaethje is the master of inflicting damage on his opponents, and even considering the two fights he’s lost, neither Eddie Alvarez or Dustin Poirier walked away anywhere near unscathed after facing him.

Despite all that, Gaethje’s head coach Trevor Wittman says that the interim champion’s best attribute when going against a human wrecking machine like Khabib Nurmagomedov hasn’t even been seen during one of his fights yet.
