In a statement to UFC Unfiltered, Justin gaethje had his rejoinder against Charles of the Bronx. After the champion stated that he could only say something when he won eight consecutive fights, Gaethje stated that he only needs one victory to fight for the title and that he would love to face the Brazilian. The North American, however, bet on a victory Dustin poirier in what should be the next fight for the lightweight title.

“I'm in a great position, I don't need to win eight in a row. I only need to win one. If he wins, I would love to face Charles Oliveira, because I will show you what I'm saying. He's a quitter. He showed you this in the fight with Michael chandler. At the end of the first round, he didn't look good and didn't want to be there. He doesn't want to be there when things get bad. It's just what I think, my opinion. Poirier will finish him off,” said Gaethje.
