Former UFC interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje calls for ‘obvious’ matchup with former foe Dustin Porier.

Gaethje got back to winning ways earlier this month following his failed title bid ten months earlier. The 34-year-old scored a decision win over rising contender Rafael Fiziev, in what was a classic all action Gaethje affair.
