Justin Gaethje Reveals Policy for Backflip Celebration

"It's pretty much my only rule - I've only done it once outside of knocking somebody out," Gaethje told Mark McClune. "If I knock somebody out, then the rush of emotions is too much, where I have to flip off something. But if you don't get that knockout, there really isn't a spike of emotion. So I sure hope to knock [Topuria] out, and I sure hope to do a backflip on the White House lawn. That would be absolutely spectacular."
