"Dustin Porier used to say, 'I'm always one classy win away from a title fight.' He steps into the octagon, knocks out Benoit St. Denis, Islam Makhachev has no opponent.... Bam! And Porier takes that spot! I think Gaethje is in the same situation. He's one beautiful win away from a title shot," Cormier said on ESPN MMA.
Recall that on April 13 at the UFC 300 anniversary event in Las Vegas, USA, Gaethje lost to Max Holloway by knockout in the last minute of the fight.
