Justin Gaethje Explains His Knockout Backflip Rule

Gaethje said knockouts trigger flips: “It’s my rule: if I knock somebody out, then the rush of emotions is too much, I have to flip off something.” He stated, without a KO, “There isn’t a spike of emotion.” Gaethje noted he’s only backflipped once outside a knockout, after he successfully defended his WSOF lightweight championship against Brian Foster in 2016.
