Gaethje: “Let’s see who gets the chance to rip Makhachev’s head off”

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje once again made it clear that he is ready to become the next opponent of the holder of a full belt Islam Makhacheva.

"I am waiting for a call. I’m ready to fight, I’m waiting for the UFC and Dana White to contact me. Let's see who will be the first to get the opportunity to rip off Islam Makhachev's head. And yes, Oliveira got his chance, but didn’t make it to the rematch. Such things,” Gaethje wrote in X.

Let us remember that earlier Makhachev repeatedly noted that he would like to perform at the UFC 299 tournament, which will take place on March 9 in Miami.
