Gaethje lost his BMF title to Max Holloway at UFC 300 by way of a brutal last-second knockout. He was originally scheduled to make his comeback against Dan Hooker at UFC 313 but 'The Hangman' withdrew due to a hand injury. Fiziev replaced him on short notice.

Following his win over 'Ataman', Gaethje expressed his desire to fight Islam Makhachev next for the title. Makhachev’s team has also shown interest in this matchup.

MMA Journalist believes Justin Gaethje could get title shot against Islam Makhachev

The UFC's lightweight division is in one of its most exciting phases, with several potential contenders eying for the title against Islam Makhachev. Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira, and Ilia Topuria, who recently moved up after vacating the UFC featherweight belt in pursuit of a second title, are all in the mix.

On an episode of his podcast, MMA journalist Mike Bohn addressed who should fight next for the lightweight title. The journalist suggested Gaethje might get the title shot next, highlighting his age difference with the other contenders.

He explained:

"For some reason, I feel like Gaethje might get [the next lightweight title shot]. It's kind of like the Dustin Poirier thing, right? Like, the last chance. He's kind of 36 years old, so the timing may not work out for it again."

He continued:

"All those other guys like Ilia Topuria, Arman Tsarukyan, Charles Oliveira, not so much, are younger. And their time will come. I think even if it's not next. So I could see Justin get it. That's probably the ingredient for the most exciting fight out of all three."
