Video: Justin Gaethje nearly pulled out of Donald Cerrone fight due to eye infection

On Wednesday, Justin Gaethje came and spoke to the media wearing a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses. According to the entertaining slugger, that’s from an eye infection that nearly got him pulled from his headlining bout against Donald Cerrone this weekend.

“I’ll be honest to everyone, I’m wearing these sunglasses because I almost didn’t make it to this fight,” Gaethje said. “I had an eye infection and I’m through that now and I just got off the plane about an hour and a half ago and I came straight here because I was not gonna miss this opportunity to work out and get the blood flowing and get my mind into fight week.
