Justin Gaethje is looking to make history following his fifth-round TKO win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 249.
‘The Highlight’ wants to become the first man to dethrone Khabib Nurmagomedov and then, following that, defend his lightweight title against Conor McGregor to cement his legacy as one of, if not the, greatest fighters of all-time.
But it has to be in that order, Gaethje told Joe Rogan on a recent episode of JRE.
“I do. I want to shut him up. I’d love that. I really would,” Gaethje said when asked if he’d like to fight Conor McGregor (h/t MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew).
