Justin Gaethje has earned his reputation as one of the most durable fighters in UFC history. Known as “The Highlight,” his ability to absorb punishment while dishing out devastating strikes has become legendary. Yet even the toughest warriors can find themselves humbled in the training room. And this was demonstrated in a recent training session with his long-time coach.
During what appeared to be a routine training session, Gaethje and his coach engaged in a friendly body shot challenge. The premise was simple: trade body shots back and forth until someone caves. What makes this moment particularly entertaining is watching one of UFC’s most feared strikers getting dropped by his coach.
The video shows Justin Gaethje, tough as nails, finally succumbing to a perfectly placed shot that left him doubled over and grunting in pain. His head coach, Trevor Wittman, who was recording, celebrated with playful enthusiasm.
The incident adds an interesting chapter to Justin Gaethje’s 2024 story following his memorable BMF title defense against Max Holloway at UFC 300. That night in April saw ‘The Highlight’ taste canvas in dramatic fashion during the fight’s closing seconds. Now, months later, he’s found himself dropping again, though this time in considerably more lighthearted circumstances.
