Justin Gaethje claps back at Nate Diaz: “I ain’t your bruh”
In an interview with ESPN’s Megan Olivi on Sunday, Justin Gaethje previewed his UFC 274 main event bout against Charles Oliveira.
In the interview, Gaeghje explains that “he’s [Oliveira] gonna have to walk through hell like Khabib did.”
“He’s not as powerful, he doesn’t have the structure, doesn’t have the frame, and he can’t, he doesn’t have explosive takedowns,” Gaethje continued.
Full interview below:
Nate Diaz (20-13-0), whose last victory came in 2019 against Anthony Pettis, chimed in on his Instagram story in response to the quote saying “Bruh got triangle choked from the mount. What he talking bout.”
Gaethje was quick to clap back at Diaz posting on Twitter, “I ain’t your bruh you jealous bitch.”

The altercation comes before Gaethje’s second attempt for UFC gold. On Saturday, “The Highlight” (23-3-0) will face lightweight champion Oliveira (32-8-0, 1 NC) for the undisputed lightweight championship belt.
Gaethje previously had a shot at the belt against Khabib Nurmagomedov, in which he ultimately lost via triangle choke in the second round. Since then, he went on to defeat Michael Chandler in what is widely viewed as one of the best fights in UFC history.
UFC 274 takes place this Saturday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona with the main card beginning at 10:00 p.m. EST / 7:00 p.m. PST.
