The former UFC BMF title holder Justin Gaethje put on a terrific performance against Max Holloway. Gaethje portrayed rare-air toughness; he took some nasty beatings from Holloway but always stood back up. The final ten seconds were nothing short of iconic; both fighters held their ground, stood in one place, and unleashed all they had – which led to one of the most electrifying knockouts in the history of the sport.
Justin Gaethje isn’t done with his career. However, he has set one condition that could lead to immediate retirement. Justin Gaethje says that he will leave the sport if he ever gets knocked out the way he did in his last fight.

Justin Gaethje on retirement
In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Justin Gaethje shared his thoughts on retiring.
“The direct quote was, ‘Once I know that I cannot win an undisputed championship belt or fight for one, then I might as well hang up the gloves,’” Gaethje said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. “I do not believe I have reached that point.
Whether I’m the champion or not in the next - Who knows? It’s so hard to predict. If I ever go to sleep, like I just went to sleep, I’m done. I’m not doing it two more times. I’ll do that one more time if I have to, I’m not choosing that, but it’s always a possibility, and if it happens, I’m done. But outside that, I don’t know, it’s hard to put a number”.
