Justin Gaethje, former BMF belt holder, spoke out about the recently announced fight between UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and Dustin Porier. Gatji was unable to name a favorite in this confrontation.
"I don't know who's going to win. Obviously, Makhachev should win. But Porye is a fighter. You know, fights are such a crazy subject where anything can happen," stated Gatji.
The fight between Makhachev and Puryear will take place June 1 in Newark as part of UFC 302. For Makhachev this fight will be the third defense of the championship belt.
Earlier, Gatji made a statement about his future career, promising in the future to again organize bright, memorable fights.
Justin Gaethje, former interim UFC lightweight champion, made a statement regarding his future career after his early fiasco at the hands of Holloway.
"It was definitely a war, especially considering how I was put to bed. Yeah, but I'm not done yet. I'll fight in the future, and only the way I know how to fight. Even if I wanted to change my fighting style, it would be impossible. So the next time I return to the octagon, you can be sure that you will see the best live show on Earth," - quotes the fighter Fullviolence.
Recall, on April 14, within the framework of the anniversary UFC 300 Gatji lost by knockout to Max Holloway at the last second of the fight.

Former world light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk believes that if Tyson Fury once again disrupts the fight with Oleksandr Usyk for all heavyweight titles, the Ukrainian should fight another opponent.
"Honestly, I don't want to make anything up. I just hope that this fight will eventually take place and not go anywhere again. I think they've marinated it for sure enough already. If it was done for that purpose, there's enough to keep it from getting too salty. That's exactly the point where I think it should already be happening, if that's the reason.
And if Fury does it for the reason that he feels that he is not ready, well, then let him really, as Usik says, leave the title, and Sanya will box with some Hrgovic or Parker. Somehow," said Gvozdik in an interview with the YouTube channel "Victor Yalymov Boxing Studio".
Recall that the fight Usik vs. Fury will be held on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
