Recall that at the end of July, Gaethje knocked out Dustin Poirier and took over the aforementioned symbolic belt, which Masvidal owned before his departure from the sport.
“If I were Justin, I would fight Masvidal. Gaethje will surely get his title, after which you can fight for the BMF belt with Jorge. This is a money fight, after this you can hang your gloves on a nail. Moreover, Masvidal will still have time to swim in fat.
Even if Gaethje loses in the title match, such a fight will allow him to stay afloat. These are two money battles in a row, ”BJPenn quotes Thompson.
