Aleksandre
\nTopuria<\/a>, the brother of Ultimate Fighting Championship<\/a> lightweight king
\nIlia
\nTopuria<\/a>, knows exactly what Justin
\nGaethje<\/a> will bring to the table.<\/p>\n

Undefeated wrecking machine Ilia (17-0), 29, is scheduled to defend
\nhis UFC 155-pound title against interim beltholder Gaethje (27-5)
\nat the
\nUFC White House<\/a> card on June 14. Aleksandre, who has always
\nbeen a vital part of Ilia\u2019s camp, recently joined him in Miami for
\nthe next phase of his brother\u2019s training.<\/p>\n

In a thorough video on Ilia\u2019s YouTube
\nchannel<\/a>, the elder brother\u2014by a year\u2014Aleksandre broke down
\nGaethje\u2019s style and approach. According to the bantamweight who is
\nnow 2-0 in the UFC, Gaethje can become predictable and also leaves
\nhimself open when engaging. The specific methods of Gaethje\u2019s
\noffense were also analyzed by the fighter, who remarked that
\nGaethje tends to load up and give foes opportunities to beat him to
\nthe punch.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin Gaethje picks his shots when you stand in front of him,\u201d
\nthe 30-year-old noted. \u201cHe\u2019s very fragile when he hits, but it\u2019s a
\ndouble-edged sword to choose to hit him when he\u2019s hitting. So,
\nyou\u2019ve got to be very selective with your shots. When he hits is
\nwhen he\u2019s very vulnerable to shots, because he doesn\u2019t know how to
\nhit clean. He doesn\u2019t hit clean like you. He hits with everything.
\nThat\u2019s where he is vulnerable. But exactly that\u2019s where you have to
\nbe careful, if you choose to hit him when he is open\u2026 That\u2019s why
\nit\u2019s super important to be selective with the shots when you hit,
\nbefore hitting, think and stay protected.\u201d<\/p>\n
