Justin Gaethje, the interim UFC lightweight champion, spoke about the trilogy with Dustin Poirier.

“Dustin is a real warrior, and I will always respect him. If he really wants to come back and the UFC wants to organize this fight, I will agree. But right now I am focused on moving forward, not backward. I have goals that I am pursuing, and all my attention is directed towards them,” said the fighter in an interview with Bloody Elbow.
