Justin Gaethje didn’t hold on to his Fanatics Games prize for long – and it turned out to be a pretty savvy move.

The former UFC BMF and interim lightweight champion took second place at this year’s Fanatics Fest, finishing behind only NFL legend Tom Brady.

The competition featured a mix of sports challenges, and Gaethje stood out even among a field stacked with major names like Rob Gronkowski, John Cena and Kevin Durant.

The Highlight didn’t win the $1,000,000 top prize. However, he has earned an expensive Ferrari for his impressive mark of 345.5 points.

Gaethje was only a late addition to the Fest Games roster, stepping in after originally being scheduled just for a meet-and-greet – but he impressed in the competition.

‘The UFC fighter grabbed second place and took home a Ferrari 296 GTB, which he didn’t keep for long..

Speaking to wakesurfing champion Austin Keen, Gaethje explained: “I won a f**king Ferrari. But I traded it for $400,000 so I really won $400,000. I competed against 50 celebrities and 50 fans, I took second place.”

The Highlight’s performance was even more impressive given the level of competition. The Fanatics Games line-up included NBA stars, Super Bowl champions and other high-profile athletes – yet he finished above the likes of Kevin Durant, James Harden, Draymond Green, Russell Wilson and Rob Gronkowski.

Originally scheduled to fly home after his meet and greet, a late push from Dana White got Gaethje into the roster, and he made the most of it, leaving with cash in hand and plenty of bragging rights.
