Justin Gaethje has posted footage of him engaging in a body shot challenge with his coach Luke Caudillo, even though it doesn’t end well for the UFC star.

The two can be seen trading heavy body blows during a training session, before a perfectly placed punch from Caudillo sinks Gaethje to the canvas groaning.

“I like to take this moment and thank @coorslight @modelousa and @fiveninewhiskey for making my body strong enough to take shot for @justin_gaethje #squirrelfindsanut #bodyshot #liver #lovemyjob #gladiatorsunleashed,” Caudillo joked on Instagram.

The 43-year-old Caudillo is actually a former UFC fighter himself, having a brief stint in the promotion back in 2007 that ended after back-to-back losses. Known as ‘Lil Hulk’, he eventually retired in 2012 with a 17-17 record, with 11 of his wins coming via strikes.

As for Gaethje, the 35-year-old is coming off a stunning last second KO loss against Max Holloway back in April, but still holds the No.3 spot on the lightweight rankings and has a 25-5 record overall.
