I think about that an exhibition battle. I don’t imply that the loss will not be on my document. I imply it had nothing to do with rankings. Within the time that I did that, Dustin Poirier, who I simply beat, bought a superb win over (Benoit) Saint Denis after which fought for the belt
“Since I’ve received (vs. Fiziev), the champion has been saying he needs to battle me. So they might have simply set that up, however they didn’t. Then he vacates, after which Oliveira is 2-2 in his final fights, already has a loss to Makhachev, they usually deliver a brand-new man in, and I get f*cked once more. So I’m not going to battle any of those motherf*ckers for enjoyable except they pay me a lot extra money.”
Justin Gaethje can have his sights set on UFC 317 title conflict between Oliveira and Topuria
Gaethje might have some extent, however with Arman Tsarukyan nonetheless sitting because the division’s top-ranked contender and Topuria calling for a battle with “ache within the ass” Paddy Pimblett, ‘The Spotlight’ could also be ready awhile.
Regardless, Gaethje can have his eyes on the extremely anticipated light-weight title tilt between Topuria and ex-champion Charles Oliveira, who will battle it out for the vacant crown at UFC 317 on June 27 throughout Worldwide Battle Week.
