For Gaethje, he’ll be defending the belt that he won by knocking out Dustin Poirier. It was one of many highlight reel moments that Gaethje has enjoyed throughout the course of his UFC run, and something tells us he’s far from done.

As part of media day, Gaethje was asked about any other guys he’d like to face before hanging up his gloves. ‘The Highlight’ had the following to say.

Gaethje’s post-UFC 300 plans

“I’m a quarter-mile at a time kind of guy. I do not look too far ahead. I honestly have no clue what the future holds. I don’t usually plan on being alive the day after my fights, so, hopefully I’m there on Sunday.”

Justin always speaks his mind and he doesn’t care about the repercussions that come from doing so. He is a true warrior and, unsurprisingly, is one of the most popular fighters in mixed martial arts. He knows that he’s in for an absolute war against Holloway at the weekend, and it’ll be interesting to see what kind of approach he takes to the bout.
