After UFC 313, Dana White emphasized that Justin Gaethje is still a contender in the lightweight title picture, following his decision win over Rafael Fiziev. Gaethje's performance in the co-main event was praised as he secured a knockdown and earned Fight of the Night honors. With a record of 3-1 in his last four fights, he remains a top-ranked fighter in the division. White also revealed his hectic schedule managing UFC and other ventures, indicating this year will be crucial for his ability to maintain this pace.
Great fight. I mean they won fifty grand for Fight of the Night. They stole it away from the first two kids of the night, they were looking like they were going to win it.
I mean what's he ranked right now, fourth or something right? Third? There you go, he's still the number three ranked guy in the world. The odds of him getting a title shot are pretty good.
We're going to find out this year. This year is going to be the- we're going to find out this year. We'll see how long I can run this hard.
