I am a Division I All-American wrestler, but I wrestled college wrestling matches, seven minutes long. If I was to go in there and wrestle for seven minutes of a fight, a 25-minute fight, you're not getting nothing out of me for the rest of the time.

I win and lose in one way. And that's either putting them to sleep or putting it on the line and going to sleep.

I went to college, I wrestled and I took some amateur fights. When I graduated, I wanted to start using my degree, but I figured I would start fighting professionally. Then I won 18 in a row and I fought Eddie Alvarez on pay-per-view.

Justin Gaethje

I'm trying to be as real as I can and I'm being myself. I'm not gonna create an act.

Justin Gaethje

I have a human services bachelors degree and I want to work social work, I want to work with at-risk youth.

Justin Gaethje

There's not a lot of people that can sit there and take the punishment that I can deliver.

I wrestled Jordan Burroughs two times - Jordan Burroughs had a hell of a time trying to take me down. I stopped his double leg numerous times. And he also, probably, fractured my sternum - from me trying to stop him.

Justin Gaethje

I don't want to fight guys ranked behind me.

Working in a juvenile detention center, being a probation officer for at-risk youths, I'll do something like that. Something nice and stable.

Justin Gaethje

Humans recognize effort, and that's what I do. I give max effort.

Justin Gaethje

I'm not an idiot.

Justin Gaethje

I just like punching loudmouths in the face.

Justin Gaethje

I'll worry about things I can control.

Justin Gaethje

A lot of people say I'm reckless and I take too many shots. I take shots on the forehead. There's nothing wrong with that. It puts me in punching range.

Justin Gaethje

I happen to have a college education and I never planned on being a fighter.

Justin Gaethje

You could be the best in the world, but it doesn't matter. It's four-ounce gloves. I've been dropped in practice with a knee to the body. I take a good knee to the body and break my ribs in the fight, I lost. I mean, it's a fight.

I wish I was fighting Jason High in his hometown. I would put him to sleep in front of all his fans. He's mainly a wrestler, but I'm an All-American wrestler. So I'm really not worried about Jason High.

This is a making-money business, and the only way to make money is knocking people out. Lying on someone? That's pathetic to me. You gotta drop a bomb.

Justin Gaethje

Me and my brother, as anybody who's a twin will tell you... it's a competitive relationship. Ours is really competitive.

Justin Gaethje

My pressure is second to none and my timing and attitude are second to none, and that's what I want to be recognized for; not for being undefeated, because what does that mean? That just means you won. And I want to known for my style and the way that I fight, the timing that I bring and the fact that I rely on my reactions, stuff like that.
