If the UFC doesn’t accept his demands, Justin Gesche may leave the pro MMA competition.
Gaethje finds he’s looking out as far as the fight for the next UFC lightweight title is concerned. Ilia Topuria abandons the UFC Featherweight Championship and receives a shot on June 28th for free 155 pounds of gold against Charles Oliveira. Despite the fact that Oliveira submitted to Gaethje, he feels the “highlights” are being downplayed.
The current situation could lead to Gaethje hanging out his gloves.

Will Justin Gesche suddenly retire?
Submission Radio had the opportunity to talk to Justin Gaethje’s manager Ali Abdelaziz. During the interview, Abderaziz revealed a conversation with the fighter jets at UFC 316 in Newark. Gaethje is requesting the next UFC lightweight title shot.
“Justin Geshe will fight the winner,” Abderaziz said. “He won three of the last four and saved the UFC twice. They needed him and he’s there. The guy did that much for the sport.
Gaethje considers him to be the top contender to fight the winner of Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira, but Abdelaziz doesn’t think his fighters are grateful.
“I was with him in the fight,” Abderaziz said. “He said, ‘I’m not going to get a title shot. I’m being neglected. I love being a UFC fighter, I love the UFC, but the UFC feels that they have to love me.” He doesn’t feel love right now, but you know, I think they’ll give him what he wants. ”
Gaethje has had a solid relationship with the UFC for a long time, so you’ll imagine a cooler head would win.
