Fans reacted after seeing Justin Gaethje's reaction to Alex Pereira's TKO win over Khalil Rountree in the main event of UFC 307 this past Saturday. They expressed their joy for seeing how genuine a person 'The Highlight' is.
'Poatan' has taken the UFC by storm since making his debut and has since become a two-division champion and successfully retained his light heavyweight championship three times this year. Not only was Gaethje in attendance at the event but he was seated next to Pereira's sons and hugged both as they celebrated the win.

Fans took to the comment section and noted how big Pereira's sons have become. Others lavished praise on the former 'BMF' title holder and mentioned that he has always been a good person and his reaction was further proof of that:
"Such a wholesome guy, always takes time for the kids. Google: Justin Gaethje birthday party"
"Pereira's kids are already bigger than Gaethje [laughing emoji]"
"This sport is brutal and dangerous and to see Jamahal Hill reacting like that, when he couldn't last a round with Alex is just completely ridiculous. Nice to see Gaethje celebrating with Alex's boys, they know the sacrifices and agony of this sport."

Justin Gaethje represents UFC at youth program
The UFC did a lot of outreach ahead of its pay-per-view event this past Saturday, which included working with a youth program in Utah.
Justin Gaethje, along with Miesha Tate and welterweight champion Belal Muhammad, represented the promotion and spent time inspiring youth at the Tony Finau Foundation and Utah Sports Commission. In a video posted to the promotion's X account, 'The Highlight' reflected on his experience and mentioned that he took pride in it:
"Just got to read some books to some kindergarten and first graders. I helped them with their ABCs, it was awesome. I have seven nieces, two nephews, so any time I get to do things like this, it reminds me of them. Miss them dearly, so this was a great experience for me."
