Justin Ray Gaethje[5] (/ˈɡeɪdʒi/; born November 14, 1988) is an American professional mixed martial artist who fights in the lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He is the current interim UFC Lightweight Champion.[6]

Born in Safford, Arizona, Gaethje began wrestling when he was four years old. He was a two-time Arizona state champion as a wrestler at Safford High School, and an NCAA Division I All-American during his time at the University of Northern Colorado. He began his amateur MMA career while in college, turned professional in 2011 and joined the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) in 2013, where he became Lightweight Champion. He defended his WSOF belt five times before vacating it to join the UFC in 2017.

Despite his wrestling background, Gaethje rarely looks for takedowns and is known for his aggressive stand-up fighting style. He has finished 19 of his 22 wins by knockout or technical knockout and has received five Fight of the Night and four Performance of the Night awards in his seven fights in the UFC.

Early life

Justin Ray Gaethje was born on November 14, 1988, in Safford, Arizona. His mother, Carolina (née Espinoza), is of Mexican descent, and his father, John Ray Gaethje, is of German descent.[7][8] His mother was a postmaster while his father was a copper miner, as were both of his grandfathers. His paternal grandfather boxed while serving in the United States Army.[9] Gaethje's father Ray retired as a copper miner in September 2019, after 36 years working at the Morenci mine.[10]

Gaethje has a twin brother, Marcus John Gaethje, who worked at the Morenci mine for almost 10 years.[8][11] When he was 18, Gaethje spent a summer himself working at the Morenci mine. He said to Brett Okamoto of ESPN in 2020, "I worked seven days a week, 12 hours every day. I did it for three months straight and took one sick day, because I had to sleep. I did 96 hours one week."[12] Gaethje recalled that as he was about to leave the mine to attend university, two of his co-workers told him, "You'll be right back, you ain't gonna make it in college. You'll be right back here." This motivated Gaethje to make a success of himself.[13]

Wrestling career

High school

Gaethje began wrestling at the age of four,[14] and attended Safford High School,[15] where he was a four-time finalist and two-time Arizona State champion as a wrestler.[16] He also played football and baseball in high school.[17]

Collegiate

Gaethje wrestled for the University of Northern Colorado. As a junior, he placed 7th in the 2010 NCAA Division I 157 lb Championship and became the first (and only, as of 2017) Northern Colorado athlete to attain All-American status since the school joined Division I in 2006.[18][19] He dropped down to the 149 lb division for his senior year, but had struggles with weight cutting.[20] Gaethje also wrestled with a number of mixed martial artists such as Georges St-Pierre during his collegiate years.[21]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Gaethje began his amateur MMA career during his studies at the University of Northern Colorado. He amassed a 7–0 amateur record before making his professional debut on August 20, 2011, against Kevin Croom. Gaethje won the fight in the first round via KO due to a slam after his opponent attempted a submission.[22]

World Series of Fighting

Gaethje was signed by the World Series of Fighting on January 22, 2013, and made his debut at WSOF 2 against Gesias Cavalcante, finishing the fight in the first round through TKO (doctor stoppage) after opening a cut above Cavalcante's left eye.[23]

At WSOF 3 he fought Brian Cobb, eventually winning via TKO from leg kicks in the third round.[24]

Afterwards, he fought Dan Lauzon at WSOF 6, finishing Lauzon with a right uppercut in the second round.[25]

Gaethje headlined WSOF 8 against Richard Patishnock and became the inaugural WSOF Lightweight Champion after dispatching Patishnock in the first round via TKO.[26]

His first title defense was at WSOF 11 against Nick Newell.[27] Gaethje won the fight with a right hook TKO in the second round.[28]

On November 15, 2014, Gaethje faced UFC veteran and former training partner Melvin Guillard at WSOF 15.[29] The fight was ruled a non-title contest after Guillard missed weight. Gaethje won the bout via split decision (28–29, 29–28, and 30–27).[30]

He then went on to fight Luis Palomino at WSOF 19, Gaethje beat Palomino via TKO in the third round.[31] The LA Times named this fight as the best fight of 2015.[32]

He had a rematch against Luis Palomino at WSOF 23 and defended his belt, finishing Palomino in the second round.[33]

At WSOF 29, he defended his belt again by defeating Brian Foster via TKO at 1:43 of the first round.[34][35][36]

On March 15, 2016, Gaethje was suspended indefinitely by the Colorado State Athletic Commission for "unsportsmanlike conduct" after he backflipped off the top of the cage in his post-fight celebration at WSOF 29.[37] The suspension was lifted a day later.[38][39]

Gaethje was expected to defend the WSOF Lightweight Championship against Ozzy Dugulubgov at WSOF 33 on October 7, 2016.[40] However, the bout was cancelled on the day of the event as Dugulubgov was stricken with illness.[41]

On October 17, 2016, it was announced that Gaethje would defend the WSOF Lightweight Championship against João Zeferino on December 31, 2016, at WSOF 34 in the main event.[42] However, an injury forced Zeferino to withdraw from the bout and he was replaced by Luiz Firmino.[43] Gaethje won the bout by TKO via doctor stoppage due to Firmino's right eye being swollen after round three.[44]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

On May 4, 2017, Gaethje announced he had vacated his WSOF title and signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[45] It was announced on May 12 that he would make his debut against Michael Johnson on July 7, at The Ultimate Fighter: Redemption Finale.[46] Gaethje won the back-and-forth fight via TKO in the second round through a combination of punches and knees.[47] The win earned Gaethje the Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night.[48] Sherdog named this fight as the best fight of 2017,[49] and round 2 of the fight as the best round of the year.[50]

On July 13, 2017, the UFC announced that Gaethje would coach The Ultimate Fighter 26 along with Eddie Alvarez, with the duo expected to face each other at the conclusion of the season.[51] The bout with Alvarez took place on December 2, 2017, at UFC 218.[52] Gaethje lost the fight by TKO in the third round, the first loss of his MMA career.[53] The fight also earned him his second consecutive Fight of the Night bonus award.[54]

Gaethje lost via TKO to Dustin Poirier on April 14, 2018, at UFC on Fox 29.[55] The fight earned Gaethje's third consecutive Fight of the Night bonus award.[56]

Gaethje was scheduled to fight Al Iaquinta on August 25, 2018, at UFC Fight Night 135.[57] However, on June 28, 2018, Iaquinta withdrew from the bout and he was replaced by James Vick.[58] Gaethje won the fight by knockout in the first round.[59] He was also awarded a Performance of Night award, which was the fifth consecutive bonus award in his fourth fight in UFC.[60]

Gaethje faced Edson Barboza on March 30, 2019, at UFC on ESPN 2.[61] He won the fight via knockout in the first round.[62] This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award.[63]

Gaethje next faced Donald Cerrone on September 14, 2019 in the main event at UFC on ESPN+ 16.[64] He won the fight via TKO in the first round.[65] The win also earned Gaethje his third Performance of the Night bonus award.[66]

On April 6, it was announced that Gaethje would step in on short notice to face Tony Ferguson for the interim UFC Lightweight Championship on April 18, at UFC 249.[67] However, on April 9, Dana White announced that this event was postponed[68] and the bout was rescheduled for May 9, 2020. [69] He won the fight via TKO in the fifth round.[70] This win also earned him the Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night awards.[71]

Personal life

Gaethje holds a bachelor's degree in Human Services from the University of Northern Colorado. He has stated his intention to do social work with at-risk youth[18] Gaethje's surname is of German descent due to his German father.[72]
