Justin Gaethje believes Dustin Poirier will put a beating on ‘quitter’ Charles Oliveira

Charles Oliveira will have to move mountains to convince Justin Gaethje that he’s the real deal, as ‘The Highlight’ still isn’t sold on ‘Do Bronx’ ahead of the Brazilian’s proposed lightweight title bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 269.

Gaethje acknowledges that Oliveira is the current lightweight champ but claims the latter’s come-from-behind TKO win against Michael Chandler at UFC 262 is proof that he’s a ‘quitter’.

But that’s just like, Gaethje’s opinion, man.

“Great fights but not championship caliber contender fights,” Gaethje said of Oliveira’s nine-fight win streak via UFC Unfiltered (h/t MMA Fighting).
