2018 marked 2 years of playing the peak of Justin Gaethje. A Fight of the Night in April, a Performance of the Night in August. In which, perhaps the match between Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier is the most memorable match – both fighters have devoted a passionate night to the level even though TKO in the fourth half, Gaethje also admitted that the match was the “brightest” moment of his life.
After the confrontation with Poirier, Gaethje won 4 other wins, including the victory over Tony Ferguson, to have the right to compete with Khabib Nurmagomedov. Unfortunately, his championship defeated – Khabib was not very difficult to overwhelm the overwhelming victory against Gaethje.
Losing a belt painting, up to now, Justin Gaethje knew that he would probably need one more, or even a few more victories before he had the opportunity to compete for the Lightweight UFC championship. However, if possible, Gaethje is ready to “pay everything” to get the rematch against Dustin Poirier.
“UFC 257 is a great event for our Lightweight boxers,” Gaethje said.
“The matches there actually reorganized the positions of the boxers in the weight class. Thanks to them, the UFC matching experts have new ideas and new matches. There are many choices for top boxers at the moment.”
“I see that on the new rankings, they put Dustin in front of me. It is worth it. Dustin Poirier No. 1, I No. 2, Charles Oliveira No. 3, Michael Chandler No. 4. I am ready to pay everything to have a match against Poirier.
