Apparently Gaethje said he doesn't wrestle because it tires him out, he's looked straight up amateurish on the ground in BJJ terms before - I don't know much about wrestling but I've seen people say his collegiate style isn't one that would translate to MMA well,

He's basically an early-days-of-the-UFC sprawl and brawler, just uses his wrestling to stay on the feet

What did surprise me with Gaethje was he didn't look like the composed killer we've seen the previous few fights, and didn't look like the balls to the wall brawler of his earlier career - though maybe that was the speed and accuracy of Max throwing him off
