Keeping an eye on the movement of lightweights (up to 70,3kg.) in the UFC, Tim Welch, Sean O'Malley, decided to talk about a possible duel between Justin gaethje e Islam makhachev. Contrary to popular opinion, the coach stated that he sees great chances of the North American being able to gain an advantage in the stand-up fight and surprise the Russian.
“Everyone thinks Justin gaethje would be run over. I don't think he would be. Because they talk about Gaethje, when he fought Khabib, he arrived there (Abu Dhabi) 10 days before that fight and everything was wrong. Gaethje is a different guy. Khabib said he knew Justin got there (late), and he's been through this time travel several times. He knew this was just going to ruin him,” Welch said on his YouTube channel. YouTube.

When finishing his speech, Tim did not rule out Makhachev's chances of being knocked out by the American.
“This Gaethje now, against Islam, in Vegas or something. I wouldn’t be that surprised if Gaethje knocked him out,” he concluded.

Expecting to become the next challenger for the lightweight belt, Gaethje says he is willing to wait as long as it takes to face the champion. Amid speculation about Charles of the Bronx being chosen, the North American did not rule out facing Max Holloway by the BMF title.
