Trevor Whittman talks to Joe Rogan About Justin Gaethje’s first Sparring session in his gym!

I got hit hard in my fifth fight. Almost got knocked out. I was like, if I’m going to do this, I need to find a coach. Five amateur MMA fights with zero striking training. Zero. I got my nickname the highlight before I ever knew how to strike. And that was from throwing, tossing people. I met him at one of the fights. And I was like, “Oh my god, it was spectacular.” And I talked to him in the locker room. And then he’s like, “I’d love to come to your gym.” So he comes down, he comes in, he’s like, “I’m here to fight.” And I was like, “All right, well, we’re sparring today.” He’s like, “Cool, yeah, yeah, I want to fight.” And I’m like, “All right, cool. Let’s go back there.” He goes, “You have any gear?” And he’s like, “What gear I need?” And I’m just like, “Oh my god.” So I tell him, “Get one of those headgears.” And he goes, “Well, I got to wear a helmet. No one else is wearing helmets.” And I’m like, so he’s sparring with this guy named Vinnie Lopez. He gets hit with an uppercut while he’s hitting Vinnie with a overhand. And he turns around and goes, “Ooh.” And I’m like, “Oh he’s hurt.” You know? So I go over to him. I’m like, “You good?” And he’s like, “That felt so good.” Good. He’s looking at his fist.

  1. Y'all stupid as heck, he's been like that even before he started taking serious damage, this CTE shit is so overused, I know this world and very rarely fighters have CTE

  2. Literally, I did this same thing the other day with my sparring partner. Faked the uppercut and threw the overhand, but ate an uppercut in the process. 😂 I landed solid though.

  3. Rose should go back and train with Trevor so she has the best chance at any kind of comeback . Pat I'm sure has his strengths , but he isn't Trevor…
