Recently, Justin Gaethje discussed how he would feel if he were to lock horns with champion Ilia Topuria in the future. The 37-year-old also discussed important points he has to keep in mind when he and ‘El Matador’ fight.
Gaethje is currently preparing for his UFC 324 interim title fight against Paddy Pimblett. If ‘The Highlight’ manages to stop the surging Pimblett and grab the interim strap, then he will take on Topuria in a title unification bout when ‘El Matador’ makes his return after the first quarter of 2026.
In a recent interview with Carlos Contreras Legaspi, ‘The Highlight’ doubled down on his belief that no opponent can afford to make mistakes against the Georgian-Spaniard, especially when it comes to falling victim to Topuria’s devastating right hand.
