Justin Gaethje traded $400,000 Ferrari within hours of beating out Kevin Durant and Rob Gronkowski for prize

Justin Gaethje secured second place at the 2024 Fanatics Fest 'Games', finishing as runner-up to Tom Brady. He outperformed numerous celebrity athletes including Rob Gronkowski, John Cena, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Draymond Green, Russell Wilson, and Odell Beckham Jr., as well as athletic fans, across various sports challenges. Legendary quarterback Tom Brady was the only participant to score higher than Gaethje.

Gaethje's participation was unexpected; he was initially scheduled only for a UFC-sponsored meet-and-greet in New York on the event's second day and planned to leave. However, UFC boss Dana White intervened to get him into the competition at the last minute.

As a reward for his impressive second-place finish in the three-day event, Gaethje was awarded a Ferrari 296 GTB during the closing ceremony. He shared the stage with Tom Brady, Dana White, comedian Kevin Hart, and Fanatics founder Michael Rubin.

Despite winning the Ferrari, Gaethje later revealed he traded the car for $400,000. He stated, "I won a f—ing 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." Tom Brady received a $1 million prize for winning the tournament.
