During his time there, the former title challenger interacted with the media and answered several questions.

I think Chandler's gonna be explosive. I think he's gonna be dangerous as hell for nine minutes, he's still dangerous after that. That's why the risk first reward factor calculation that's constantly going on, never allowed me to take that chance. That man is dangerous and he loves to fight. So, I'm a fan," said Justin Gaethje.
