what they said

Gaethje has said: “Charles is certainly no more dangerous than Khabib. His ability to take damage isn’t the same, proven by the times we’ve seen him fight.

“All of my criticism of Charles comes from a kid that we’ve talked about, that we’ve all watched grow, and now we’re talking about a man of confidence.

“It’s a different person, but ultimately it’s still the same Charles.

“The same Charles that fought Cub Swanson. The same Charles who fought Donald Cerrone.

“The same Charles that fought [Anthony] Pettis. Decisions were made by him and the decision to quit was made and I will give him that choice on Saturday night, I guarantee it.”
