Gaethje is fighting Michael Chandler on the opening of the main card of UFC 268, this fight is considered by both the opponents as the number one contender’s match for the lightweight title.

Gaethje tries to answer a fan’s question who casually asks what are the expectations from the students of coach Trevor Wittman, who are Gaethje himself, and the UFC Champions Rose Namajunas and Kamaru Usman. Gaethje says, “I start it off, Kamaru finishes it off. You’re damn right, Trevor Wittman is a genius and you’ll see that inside the Octagon. I can’t wait to fight in front of these fans, the f**king chaos, all of it! I f**kin’ love it! Let’s go!”

That’s where enters Covington, and says “You’re right Justin chaos is in the building,” referring to his nickname ‘Chaos.’ Justin instantly replies “You’re a bitch.” This may happen because someone who’s not Gaethje’s opponent followed upon him or probably because Covington is his teammate Kamaru Usman’s opponent.”

Covington fired back saying “Ay man you don’t have any brain cells left man you sound so illiterate talking over there.” Gaethje fires back again saying “Shut the f**k up! No brain cells talking about people’s family.” Gaethje was referring to how Covington was insulting Usman’s father, talking about the past of his time as a prisoner in front of his son.
