Current number three in the lightweight category (up to 70,3kg), the North American has made no secret of the fact that he is looking for a rematch against the Brazilian.
“I did what I had to do. I fought someone who was behind me in the rankings. And I believe 100% that I deserve to fight someone who is ahead now. Charles and Loser Beneil Dariush. I hope it's not Dariush, I love that guy. I think it will be Charles, when I faced him, I fought like an idiot, so I would like to have a rematch. But OK, Dustin poirier it’s also an option,” Gaethje revealed at the press conference after his fight.
