Like every time he steps into the Octagon, &#8220;The Highlight&#8221; it promising his fans a war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s only one common denominator in every single one of those fights and that\u2019s myself. So, it is what it is, that\u2019s how I fight. This fight will be just the same. I\u2019m gonna go out there and try and break this dude as fast as possible, as violently as possible. \u2018Most violent man\u2019 and all that bullshit, doesn\u2019t matter, I\u2019m 22-3 with 19 knockouts, which one of those dudes can say that, which one of those dudes can say they got nine bonuses in their first seven fights, not one of them. The common denominator is gonna be me every single time. It\u2019s the way I fight, it\u2019s why they pay me so much money,&#8221; Gaethje said (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmanews.com\/2021\/10\/justin-gaethje-planning-violent-and-fast-victory-over-chandler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMANews.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Both Gaethje and Chandler are ranked in the top-five right now at 155lbs, so this is a very important fight between two of the best lightweights in the world.
