UFC champion insists on facing Conor McGregor: "It would be fun"
Lightweight champion Gaethje sees a fight with McGregor as an appealing farewell, but there is no date, venue or contract; the UFC scenario remains hypothetical.
Before speech: undefined future in the octagon
Justin Gaethje still carries uncertainties about his own path within the octagon. It is this void of definition that turns statements into important signals for those who follow the lightweight (70 kg). As a champion of the lightweights (70kg), any movement he makes changes the conversation about the division.
In the podcast 'Flagrant 2 Army': The chance to say goodbye
In conversation with the podcast 'Flagrant 2 Army', Gaethje cited a scenario that could change his career plans: facing Conor McGregor in a farewell match.
What changes to the lightweight (70 kg)
McGregor is one of the biggest names in the UFC, and Gaethje appears on the declaration as a lightweight champion (70 kg).[citation needed] If the idea gains traction, the lightweight (70kg) tends to occupy more space in the press, fans and teams setting up calendars.
How far along is the story now?
The current picture is one of intent, not confirmation. There's no date, venue, event or signed contract for a showdown between Gaethje and McGregor.
