Throughout his career, ‘The Human Highlight Reel’ has proven himself to be one of the most entertaining competitors MMA has ever seen.
However, the fan favorite is now considering walking away from the sport. Gaethje’s manager said he might retire if he doesn’t get a shot at the belt.
Despite this, according to a legend, it might be difficult for the American to get the fight he so desperately craves.

Michael Bisping says Max Holloway loss could prevent Justin Gaethje from fighting for title
Michael Bisping is a big fan of the excitement Justin Gaethje brings to the octagon.
However, he believes the warrior’s defeat to Max Holloway at UFC 300 might stop him from competing for the belt anytime soon.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the Brit said: “He has won three out of his last four. However, the last one was against Rafael Fiziev, a person that he’d already beaten, who isn’t the highest-ranked guy, who’s not exactly next in line for a title fight.
“Then, the big problem is that before that, he lost to Max Holloway. Not only did he lose, he was soundly beaten, and then, of course, faceplanted in the last ten seconds, the biggest knockout, the most spectacular knockout of the year, Justin Gaethje was on the receiving end.”
