Revealed
Justin Gaethje‘s a giant underdog in opposition to Ilia Topuria at The White Home … so, what does the MMA star must do to drag off the large upset?? Group USA hockey legend Mike Eruzione is sharing just a few phrases of knowledge.
It began when TMZ Sports activities talked to 37-year-old Gaethje final week, and he instructed us he was gunning to convey “Miracle on Ice” power to his Freedom 250 struggle in opposition to Topuria, who’s a considerable betting favourite.
As UFC followers will know … Justin’s from ‘Merica, whereas Ilia lives and fights out of Spain.
Eruzione is aware of a bit bit about going through seemingly insurmountable odds as an American athlete … and he is providing recommendation to Gaethje.
“Obviously, I know a little bit about [Justin]. He’s a mean man. He’s a tough, tough guy,” Mike instructed us.
The hockey icon continued, “When I hear that kind of stuff, I just tell people to embrace the challenge. That’s what we did. We weren’t afraid of it. We were excited about it. And I think that’s the way you have to be. As I tell people all the time, if you think you’re going to lose, you probably will. So despite the fact that nobody thought we could win, let’s play the game and let’s find out.”
The 1980 Olympic gold medalist added … “My advice to him is go out and fight. See what happens. But embrace the challenge. Embrace the opportunity. Cherish it. Enjoy it. Get pissed off.”
After all, Mike’s hockey workforce achieved the unthinkable in Lake Placid … with head coach Herb Brooks main a gaggle of novice and collegiate gamers, defeating the Soviet Union, extensively thought-about one in every of, if not the best workforce ever assembled, 4-3, and occurring to win the gold medal.
Justin will not be that stage of underdog, however he is a severe longshot … and the captain of the legendary 1980 squad thinks he can use that as gas behind his hits.
“We proved that anything can happen.”
