UFC lightweight title contender Justin Gaethje shared his mood for the upcoming fight with the champion Charles Oliveira, which will take place on May 7 at UFC 274 in Phoenix.

“On May 7th, I will be in perfect shape for the entire 25 minutes. If he manages to defeat me, then I will give him credit, but he will have to go through hell, like Khabib. It is not so powerful, it will not have an advantage in dimensions. In addition, he does not perform explosive takedowns.

He better pray every day that he can transfer me, because otherwise it will be a repeat of the duel with Chandler - only in five rounds, not three. If Michael fought me for five rounds, then everything would end badly for him - he would be a corpse. Glad it didn't happen," Gaethje said in an ESPN interview.
