Watch Justin Gaethje shrug off a head kick like it’s nothing.
Justin Gaethje is as tough as they come.
‘The Highlight’ ate a huge head kick in a recent sparring session but didn’t seem fazed by it in the slightest.
Gaethje’s sparring partner was wearing shin pads but the kick he landed would have KO’d most men in an instant.

Gaethje is just seven weeks out from the biggest fight of his career, so the former WSOF lightweight champion may want to take it a bit easier in sparring. The 31-year-old knockout artist is scheduled to fight reigning, undefeated lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254 on October 24, in what promises to be one of the most exciting matchups of the year.
Gaethje captured the interim lightweight title with a fifth-round TKO win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 and will look to unify the titles when he takes on Nurmagomedov in the UFC 254 main event. The highly anticipated pay-per-view will take place at a to be determined location.
