Justin Gaethje appears to have set a big ultimatum for the UFC should they not grant him the next shot at the lightweight title.
Justin Gaethje Bounced Back In Big Way This Past March
Returning to competition for the first time in nearly a year this past March at UFC 313, Justin Gaethje took on old foe Rafael Fiziev in the co-main event. Originally slated to duke it out with fellow fan-favorite striker Dan Hooker, however, the New Zealander was axed from the card following an injury to his hand. Taking the bout on less than a month’s notice, Fiziev filled in to rematch “The Highlight” after falling to him in 2023 at UFC 286.
