“Now with Justin Gaethje, everyone is saying, 'This is a super easy fight, he's going to get knocked out really fast.' They're forgetting that Justin Gaethje is a very tough guy, with a ton of experience. It's a tough fight, but at the same time, like we always say, there are levels to this. Based on his fighting style, how he comes out in every fight, I see it ending quickly, honestly. I see it as similar to the Charles Oliveira fight... I think it's going to be in the first round.”
