Former interim UFC lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje has claimed fellow former interim gold holder, Dustin Poirier, rejected the opportunity to serve as an opposing coach against him on The Ultimate Fighter 31 earlier this year, backing the Lafayette native to turn down a scoffed-at payday.
Gaethje, the current #3 ranked lightweight contender, most recently co-headlined UFC 286 back in March of this year in a high-stakes clash against Rafael Fiziev, securing a close, majority decision triumph over the Tiger Muay Thai ace.
