Third place in the lightweight rankings (up to 70,3kg) of Ultimate, Justin gaethje has publicly criticized the division champion, Charles of the Bronx. And, on the eve of his confrontation against Michael chandler No. UFC 268 on November 6th, the North American analyzed the division and revealed that he considers himself better than the Brazilian.
“In the division, I'm going to put Charles (from the Bronx) first – just because he's champion, but he's not the best. He still gives up his fights. (Dustin) Poirier in next, me in third, (Beneil) Dariush in fourth and (Michael) Chandler in fifth. Poirier beat me, but I still put myself above. And I'm also better than Charles. On my list, it's Poirier, me, Charles, Dariush and Chandler”, said Gaethje in a UFC video on 'YouTube'.
It is not the first time that Justin gaethje talk about Charles of the Bronx. Since the Brazilian became champion by knocking out Michael chandler, the former interim lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg.) has frequently questioned the quality of the linear belt holder and even believes in a victory of Dustin poirier No. UFC 269.
Justin gaethje, now, measures forces against Michael chandler – Charles’ last opponent – in UFC 268, in November. The tendency is for the winner of the duel to qualify for the lightweight title (up to 70,3kg). Current belt holder, Do Bronx tries to defend his position against Dustin poirier No. UFC 269, in December.
