Justin Gaethje has made his feelings clear for months about what he wants next in his UFC career. ‘The Highlight' wants a title shot and no one, not even Conor McGregor, is going to stop him from getting the next crack at Charles Oliveira.
Conor McGregor has been pushing to fight Charles Oliveira next and the UFC hasn't exactly shut that possibility down. Justin Gaethje was recently asked about it by BT Sport and he did not hold back.
“I don’t know, I don’t even want to talk about it. The only reason why it’s almost [an issue] is because you guys keep asking about it, you guys keep talking about it. You’re really just doing your job and it’s just to create a story. He’s irrelevant right now. He’s got a broken leg and with that question, you have to question the integrity. You as a journalist have to stand behind it and you know that it should never happen and you should do everything to keep it from happening.”
Justin Gaethje questions whether the media is pushing for Conor McGregor to step in and get the next UFC lightweight title shot. It has been a narrative that the media has been discussing for weeks since UFC 269.
There has not been an update on who is next for Charles Oliveira after his first successful title defense. The only indication Justin Gaethje is next is that Dana White confirmed it during a post-fight press conference. The UFC will be hoping Gaethje doesn't get upset with their decision.
