UFC interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje explained why he doesn't like to wrestle during a bout. According to Gaethje, wrestling takes a lot of energy.

"I was always against the wrestling, because it takes a lot of energy... I don't wrestle so as not to waste energy," Gaethje said.

Already on September 19 Justin will have to fight against the current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is one of the best wrestlers in the promotion. The fight will lead the 253rd UFC tournament.
