“I wish you could see us training. Kamaru Usman He's the only guy I train who gets stronger as the rounds go by. Furthermore, he has a work ethic that is second to none,” wrote Gaethje, on his account on 'Twitter'.

Interestingly, Justin, who was following the confrontation, risked the final result of the confrontation as soon as the first round ended. At the moment, Gilbert had come close to surprising the champion with a series of punches. The attack even took down the Nigerian.

“Usman will defeat him in the third round, I believe,” he published.
