DraftKings sees Gaethje as the underdog, with a salary of $7,800. Throughout his UFC career (13 bouts), he averages 74.9 fantasy points per contest.

Justin Gaethje suffered a fifth-round knockout loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300. Gaethje was defending his BMF title, and early on, he was struggling with Holloway's speed. 'The Highlight' was getting picked apart for three rounds, but in the fourth round, did appear to drop Holloway as he had him rocked. However, Gaethje couldn't capitalize and in the dying seconds of the fifth round, Holloway pointed to the middle of the Octagon and the two traded massive shots, but it was Gaethje who got KO'd with one second left.

Justin Gaethje knocked Dustin Poirier out cold with a stunning head kick on Saturday, winning their rematch at UFC 291 and claiming the BMF title. Emerging victorious in their first encounter was Poirier via TKO. Five years after suffering a TKO loss to Poirier, Gaethje looked like a completely different fighter, getting the better of most of the exchanges in the first round. In the second round, Gaethje landed a thunderous head kick, knocking out Poirier. In six minutes of action, Gaethje landed 41 significant strikes. Gaethje is in a perfect position to challenge next for the lightweight title once again after Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira meet for the second time in October.
