Who does Justin Gaethje want for his UFC debut? ‘The scariest dude, the one who can embarrass me the most’

After spending four years reigning over World Series of Fighting’s lightweight division with an iron fist, Justin Gaethje is finally a UFC fighter. The undefeated 28-year-old inked an exclusive free agent deal with the UFC last week, ending a sterling 10-fight run with WSOF that established Gaethje as one of most talented and entertaining non-UFC fighters in the world.

“At the beginning of this [last WSOF contract], I let them know I was set on becoming a free agent at the end and seeing what my value was to the sport of mixed martial arts, so that was my intention,” Gaethje explained Monday on The MMA Hour.
