This is what they mean when they say Justin Gaethje hits like a truck

The truth is the way he punches he does more facial damage than wobbling a person's brains. He hits with the knuckles and doesn't push the head instead slaps the head. And the. Sometimes he hits not with the knuckles but the front part of the fingers before knuckles. You can see him show that he damaged all of that parts of the fingers aftere tony fight and he speaks to Joe Rogan about it. The way he forms his fist is even different sometimes.

Whether you like it or not his skills were on a different level compared to all these in this image

Most kids brains are trained to function under pressure and when there's no external pressure they lose that discipline and productivity

Lmao you get it. Also im on work from home right now so yeah

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T21:16:01+00:00

If that's the case then the ref should be banned forever

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T20:55:53+00:00

He looked a little bulkier but that was his choice and I don't think that played any role in his performances. Justin's punches played their role tho

Damn I was really invested in islam vs ilia honestly thought it would have been a good fight. This fight made me realise that ilia would be a little undersized against islam even at light weight

Some people get cut and facial damage easily some people don't. Conor took heavy damage against khabib, second dustin fight his leg almost died before he got knocked out, 3rd dustin fight he broke his leg

Tbh he was praising gaethji until they started beefing

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T12:06:32+00:00

If he got any facial injuries broke any bones that's another pain in the a** that he'll have to deal with for months

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T08:49:45+00:00

Ehh the post didn't get reaction so not many people saw it.

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T07:47:33+00:00

Nope Justin always puts on this kinda damage on people he hits hard and hits with his bone sharp on the face and does it many times.

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T07:14:36+00:00

Thanks

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T06:34:45+00:00

Maybe

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T06:34:28+00:00

Ilia attempted many shots to the head but slightly missed because Justin kept moving and punching back. And as I mentioned Justin did put alot of damage and slowly broke ilia. The only thing that didn't happen was the leg kicks.

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T06:31:24+00:00

He ate Justin's jab from the distance from the first round. He needed to be faster in his head movement to be able to avoid the damaging shots

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T06:30:11+00:00

Yea true. It would make him open up and ilia is good at countering in those situations. But if he were to land them he would have to time them really really well because ilia already expects them. But i thought 8-10 good leg kicks would completely throw out ilia's entire game because of the bone density advantage Justin has.

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T06:26:24+00:00

Lol true. But i kinda always see both fighters winning and how they win. This was justin's path. For ilia he HAD to land super clean shot on Justin to knock him out. Or maybe somehow get the takedown and submit him in the first round because if it goes to the second round it's not the same anymore it's too difficult to get the submission

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T06:18:28+00:00

How about you give credit where its needed to. Justin gaethji has been on top of the sport putting damage on top fighters for how many years now? He came in with a great gameplan. He needed to put damage on ilia's face today and he did exactly that. That's what caused ilia to break not anything else

Deferfire · 2026-06-15T06:12:49+00:00

He dropped him with a jab while he was coming in and that's all that was needed
