Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje answered a question about whether he was ready to become a reserve fighter for a title rematch between Islam Makhachev And Charles Oliveirawhich will take place on October 21 at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
“If there are any options other than meeting with the winner of the fight between Makhachev and Oliveira? We'll see. The UFC makes offers. I don't have any ideas.
Yes, I would like to watch the fight between Islam and Charles. And I don’t think I would like to become a reserve. The promotion will have to pay me a lot of money to make this possible,” the American said at a press conference.
Recall that yesterday, July 30, Gaethje knocked out Dustin Poirier in the second round. The bout headlined UFC 294 in Salt Lake City, USA.
