Justin Gaethje: Michael Chandler ‘going to be a timid soul when he starts shooting for legs’

Justin Gaethje vs. Michael Chandler is sure to be a barn burner, and the former interim UFC lightweight champion hopes to deliver another highlight in a fight that he does not expect to go the distance.

Gaethje and Chandler are scheduled to meet at UFC 268 next month. Both fighters are well-known for their highlight-reel finishes and proclivity for engaging in chaotic exchanges, so it is not outside the realm of possibility that a stoppage will actualize. Gaethje agrees with this sentiment, but recently told The Schmo that it could change if Chandler opts to utilize his wrestling after eating a few heavy shots.
