Things got intense during a Facebook Q&A with UFC newcomer Justin Gaethje.
Due to some of the things Gaethje said, the UFC deleted the video of his Q&A shortly after it ended. However, in the video below, you can watch the entire Q&A.
Gaethje answered questions from the UFC fans leading up to his first UFC fight. On Friday, Gaethje will headline The Ultimate Fighter: Redemption Finale. He will fight UFC lightweight contender Michael Johnson.
During the Q&A, Gaethje got dark with some of his answers. He said he would kill Johnson and would be willing to die in the UFC.
“I wanted to kill him when the fight was announced and I want to kill him now,” Gaethje said. “It’s life or death for me every time I step into the cage.”
Gaethje also talked about the possibility of going to Bellator MMA and discussed the high level of competition in the promotion.
Gaethje is currently undefeated with 17 wins. Prior to joining the UFC, Gaethje was the World Series of Fighting lightweight champion. He has notable wins over Dan Lauzon, Nick Newell, and Melvin Guillard.
