Recently appointed FBI director Kash Patel has shown interest in working with Dana White‘s UFC for training their agents. While the plan is still in discussion, it has already been welcomed with some criticism. However, UFC superstar Justin Gaethje believes it’s a good idea and is ready to help the FBI. 

After the news about Patel’s initiatives regarding UFC made headlines, there were a few high-profile individuals who criticized the idea. With Donald Trump being close to UFC CEO Dana White, many believed that the motivation behind the move is insignificant. Gaethje, in a recent interview, talked about the situation and showed his willingness to participate. 

I think there’s more skilled people (than myself), but I got no kids, no wife. So if he(Patel) needs somebody to out there and serve some justice, I would love to be part of that team…I would love to be part of any part of that. I love representing this country.

Gaethje is a true patriot and was very busy in the last election, promoting Trump and his policies. The All-American is a fan favorite and proudly represents the flag whenever he walks out. The ‘Highlight’ is well known for being one of the most brutal fighters in the UFC and can definitely help the FBI agents.

Gaethje has been in the promotion for years and has fought some of the best lightweights of the modern era. His fighting style and mentality help in giving frequent wars that the fans absolutely love. However, it definitely has had its disadvantages.

Justin Gaethje‘s last fight was against Max Holloway, which took place at UFC 300. It was a five-round war in which he got dominated by the former featherweight champion. Gaethje got knocked out and wasn’t able to move for a few minutes, which left fans in shock.

After almost a year, Gaethje is finally making his comeback and will take on former rival Rafael Fiziev in a five-round bout. The Azerbaijan national team is equally violent, and fans are expecting a banger of a fight. In a recent podcast, former UFC fighter John Thomas discussed the fight with John McCarthy and showed concern for Gaethje. 

For me, it’s more about being concerned for his health… I don’t wanna see him continue to fight and get as bad as he did in his last fight Do I think Fiziev could do that? Yeah…This is one of those fights where you’re gonna have a longer career because of that.’… Justin coming out and saying like, ‘Hey, that’s just not my style.’ It makes it more complicated

Gaethje has always been consistent with his fighting style and doesn’t like to compromise it. He likes to entertain the crowd and in the process often risks his win and health. Despite having a background in wrestling, the ‘Highlight’ prefers to stay on the feet and give fans what they want.
