After a big KO win over Edson Barboza at UFC Philadelphia on Saturday, Justin Gaethje has yet to determine whom he intends to fight next. While he does plan to face all contenders ranked above him, he also has lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in his sights.
“It doesn’t matter to me (who I fight next),” Gaethje said in a post-fight media scrum (via MMAjunkie). “They’re going to pay me a lot of money, that’s what I’m here for.
“I want to be the world champion. I want to fight Khabib, I think I’m one of the biggest threats to his title and that’s my goal.
