Gaethje knows that he’s on an eventual collision course with lightweight champion
“I’m on my way to Khabib and I want to fight him,” Gaethje said during the UFC Fight Night post fight show on ESPN+. “I think I’m the toughest matchup for him.
“My wrestling, you guys haven’t seen it yet, I wrestled for 22 years, the last match I ever wrestled was in this arena. The NCAA tournament, I lost, and I was very excited to come back.”
“When the time comes, it’s kill or be killed,” Gaethje said. “If it’s [Paul Felder] and me, I don’t care who it is. It could be you, it could be Nate [Diaz], it could be Donald [Cerrone], it could be Khabib [Nurmagomedov]. I don’t care.”
