Justin Gaethje Upset With UFC Analysts After Latest Win

Justin Gaethje upset with two UFC analysts after his latest win inside of the Octagon.

It turns out that Gaethje dislikes hypotheticals and we all found that out when he talked with Paul Felder and Karyn Bryant. Following the fight, Felder respectfully broached the idea of a possible bout.

Gaethje scored a first-round knockout win over Edson Barboza in a lightweight bout that served as the UFC Philadelphia headliner. This show went down on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on ESPN.

This was when Gaethje called Felder’s overture “bull(expletive)” after the interview.

“He’s trying to steal my thunder, him and Karyn (Bryant),” Gaethje said backstage to MMAJunkie.

While standing next to the former WSOF champion, Felder made it known that he was putting his name in the hat with the utmost respect. Bryant added she was simply endorsing Felder. At the end of the day, it was awkward.

“You don’t want that to happen,” Gaethje shot back with a smile.

“Whether it’s now, or whether it’s later, me and you are going to put on a show for these fans some day,” Felder replied. “And I say that, honest to god, with the most respect possible, because I enjoy watching you fight, brother. Congratulations on a dominant win.”

“Thank you, man,” Gaethje said. “Hey, it’s one at a time. You’ve got a couple guys in front of you.”

“I’m not saying that,” Felder said. “I’m good.”

“I’m just kidding,” Gaethje said, giving Felder’s shoulder a slap and a squeeze.
