What was said
"Gaethje's best chance of winning the fight is fucking knocking him out in the first round. I don't know if Gaethje's tactically, technically, or, you know, strategically trying to say shit to make him fight different. Who knows at this level, you just never know. But that's his best chance."
Justin Gaethje crossed into unusually personal territory by bringing up Ilia Topuria's recent divorce, saying he would leave Topuria too. O'Malley analyzed this as potentially strategic, suggesting Gaethje is trying to provoke Topuria into abandoning his patient, defensive style and brawling in the opening round, which would be Gaethje's best path to victory. The comments mark a departure from Gaethje's typically respectful approach to opponents and add psychological warfare to the White House main event.
