Justin Gaethje and fellow UFC Fight Night 158 fighters such as Glover Teixeira and more were recently hitting the pads and mats for Vancouver fight fans.
Justin Gaethje — one half of UFC Fight Night 158’s main event rodeo in Vancouver, Canada, this weekend (Sat., Sept. 14, 2019) — recently showed off his vicious punches and leg kicks for an enthusiastic crowd at the event’s open workout.
“The Highlight” and his coach, Trevor Wittman, pandered to the crowd, exchanged a few laughs and put on a display for the fight fans in attendance. While he took center stage at Wednesday’s open workouts, his opponent, Donald Cerrone, did not. “Cowboy” had a commitment with Budweiser to attend to instead. Nevertheless, he still managed to show up at the open workout to spend time interacting with fans in attendance.
The five other fighters who took part in Wednesday’s workouts were co-headliners Glover Teixeira and Nikita Krylov, as well as Canadian resident Misha Cirkunov and hometown hero Cole Smith. Krylov showed off all manners of spinning kicks, delivering a dazzling display of dynamic talent.
