"I will absolutely be pissed off - you can be sure of that. They called the fight between Oliveira and Tsarukyan a contender fight, which means the winner of that fight has to fight Islam in June. And then I will meet whoever holds the championship belt," said Gaethje in an interview with Mike Bohn.
Gaethje's next fight will be against former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway. That clash will take place on the night of April 13-14 in Las Vegas as part of the UFC 300 anniversary event.
