Today (Wed., Oct. 30, 2024), former interim Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion and “Baddest Motherf—ker” (BMF) Justin Gaethje posted a video to his Instagram Story of him sparring with former UFC fighter Luke Caudillo.
In the video, the two fighters start sparring, but after a few seconds, they exchange body shots—one after another. In total, Gaethje ate four body shots, but on the fifth one, he crumbled to the ground.

Gaethje wrote, “You either smoke or get smoked. [Luke] finally got one for the good guys.
The man who dropped Gaethje, Caudillo, posted the clip to his social media and wrote, “I like to take this moment and thank Coors Light, Modelo, and Five-Nine Wiskey for making my body strong enough to take a shot from Justin Gaethje.”
Making Gaethje take a knee in sparring is quite the feather in the camp because numerous fighters, such as Drew Dober, Kamaru Usman, and Chepe Mariscal, have said it’s a literal hell and not fun to spar the BMF.
Nevertheless, Gaethje is waiting for his next fight after taking several months off to recover from being brutally slept by Max Holloway at UFC 300.
Expect fight news soon, but not against Conor McGregor.
