Justin Gaethje Ethnicity: Is the UFC’s BMF Hispanic or German?

Former UFC interim lightweight champion and BMF title holder, Justin Gaethje will defend his black and silver title against former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway at UFC 300. The fight is leading to be one of the most anticipated fights on the card, as the hardest-hitting UFC lightweight is going against the fighter who has never been knocked out in his career.

Not to mention that Gaethje has shown that he is willing to leave it all inside the octagon with a kill-or-be-killed mentality when he fights. Despite Gaethje becoming one of the most popular fighters in the UFC Roster, there are still quite a lot of people who confuse his ethnicity. So let us take a look at the UFC lightweight’s ethnicity.

What is Justin Gaethje’s ethnicity?

UFC lightweight superstar, Justin Gaethje, unlike what most people believe, is actually 60% Mexican. Gaethje confirmed this during an interview.

During a recent interview, Gaethje stated, “I am a Mexican. Yeah, I’m sixty percent Mexican. My mom’s a hundred percent, my nonna doesn’t speak English, that’s how I found that out. I was born in Tucson, Arizona and I was raised in like, probably a couple hours north of the border, small town. You’ve seen me fight haven’t you? That’s all you need to see.”

Justin Gaethe never disappoints when it comes to his fights inside the octagon and that’s one reason why he happens to be everyone’s favorite fighter’s favorite fighter. However, there are few who don’t seem to lack any affinity towards Gaethje, like the former UFC BMF champion, Jorge Masvidal. But the BMF in the UFC has a reply for him!

The BMF title holder slams Jorge Masvidal in a recent interview

During a recent interview hosted by Daniel Cormier, the former double champ asked Justin Gaethje how he felt about Jorge Masvidal’s comments about breaking his face. Gaethje didn’t seem to appreciate the comments and went off on the former BMF champ.

During the interview, Gaethje stated, “I think we’re all gonna miss the spotlight, you know? He’s not in the spotlight no more. And the only orbital he got broken is his against Kamaru. And I love to see it… He f***ing cheap-shotted Colby Covington and didn’t break his orbital.”
