Justin Gaethje doesn't want to wait around. He's ready to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov and unify the UFC lightweight championship.
"Khabib is the best in the world. I’ve been working since I was 4 for challenges like this, and I am happy to represent the United States of America against Dagestan or Russia’s best," Gaethje said Saturday after his TKO win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 249. “He is 28-0, and there is no other challenge I want right now, I want to fight him.”
Gaethje was dominant in his upset win over Ferguson, dictating the pace for four rounds before finishing off the bout in Round 5.
