Justin Gaethje already sees himself as the winner of UFC 300. Afterwards, he would like to get a lightweight title fight.
Justin Gaethje is aiming for another belt. This Saturday, April 13, at UFC 300, ‘The Highlight’ will face Max Holloway in a fight for the BMF title. The Hawaiian and Gaethje are ready to do anything to emerge victorious from this fight, in order to then win a belt in their respective category.
If the American beats the former featherweight champion, he could face Islam Makhachev, the current lightweight champion. Before that, the Dagestani will most likely face Dustin Poirier, who could have won his title shot thanks to the knockout he inflicted on Benoît Saint Denis at UFC 299. There are apparently rumors of discussion around this fight .
Justin Gaethje wants lightweight champion’s head
Justin Gaethje spoke to MMA Junkie regarding the continuation of UFC 300, in the event of a victory: “For the moment, the winner of the fight between Oliveira and Tsarukyan will fight in June against Makhachev. » So already, for him, it is one of these two who will have priority in a fight for the title and not Poirier.
“I will fight the winner of this fight, preferably at Madison Square Garden in November… This seems like a perfect schedule for me. I will definitely have time to rest, recover and train to prepare for this fight. » Justin Gaethje therefore hopes to have a title shot against the lightweight champion by the end of the year. The latter puts all the chances on his side by planning the recovery of his future war against Max Holloway.
