Last time they fought, Dustin was the more calculated, intelligent fighter, and eventually found his opening and put Justin away. But Justin has come a long way since then in terms of his maturity, his fight IQ, and his attitude*. He is capable of being very calculated and actually using his highly technical striking to its full advantage, rather than just standing in the pocket trading. Look at how he dismantled Ferguson.
* Trevor Wittman said when Justin first became his pupil, he would always say his goal was to be the most exciting fighter, but a couple of years ago that changed to 'I want to be the champion', and since then you can see the change in how disciplined he is during fights.

1. Trevor Wittman's son, Terrence, is a videographer, and for Justin's last few fights he's been producing a behind-the-scenes look at his fight camp which they post as series on Justin's YouTube channel . He said in the comments somewhere that the intention is to do this for all his fights going forward, so there might be a new one soon. And even if not, the last two (Road to Gold and Road to London) are worth watching for an insight into his preparation.
2. Trevor Wittman (again, Justin's head coach and probably the best striking coach in the game) has made some instructional videos for Dynamic Striking . He does these videos with Justin, for one thing, and it really showcases his genius for striking. You can really see how he has developed Justin's skills.

In all of this, what I love most personally is seeing the dynamic/relationship between Gaethje and Wittman.

But I don't downvote unless people are trolling or being mindlessly biased for or against someone or thing.

Do people agree with me on this or not? The belt isn't what makes it cool, Being the best in the world in your weight class is, And seeing people fight to be the best in the division is cool

Gabriel Bonfim, TKO, R1
Gabriel will get touched coming into the pocket by the jab of Giles. But all he needs is to land one of those slick combos and Trevin will be in trouble. I could easily see a club n sub but Trevin does a good job of not getting subbed so I’ll go with the KO

Rewatched Błachowicz vs Ankalaev thoughts drop
Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 565 Points | Tied for 1065th
He still can yeet Poatans head out of the arena but if Pereira speeds up Jan is ****** and has to wrestle offensively
But his defensive wrestling is beyond ******* atrocious like Im not gonna he surprised if Poatan is gonna be mauling him, but then Jan is a titled grappler in Poland so hey maybe he can sub Pereira?
Im still not sure who is gonna win but Im not educated enough to be saying that its either Jan or Pereira, that I'll leave to Rah and Andrew

Priscila Cachoeira, TKO, R1
I'm gonna make this prediction now because cachoeira will not make weight & will pullout. How has she not been cut yet? But if she does make it to fight night she will ko wood
