Media Justin Gaethje "Will Be 6 Months, At LEAST, Before Taking Any Shots"

[Black9]

Crazy how he was so close to a title shot now he won't even train until next year..

Geesh

 

[filthybliss]

yeah that loss put him back 2 wins to get a title shot again

 

[MaulingMyClown]

Didn't say anything about not training...taking any shots I would beleive is just sparring.

Maybe not. People thought the same about Poirier when Justin KO'd him but now look at the scene. Plus nobody is really making waves coming up through LW. Him and Charles are in the same boat, maybe make that rematch early next year.

Holloway supposedly doesn't spar anymore so gaethje won't have to worry about not sparring for 6 months.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

I wonder if he can work anywhere in the meantime. Maybe Stipe can get him in at the fire department

 

[Kb7]

If he wants to continue fighting, he should take one year off. Freddie Roach took Manny out for a year after his Ko loss to Marquez.

justin fell off so hard

good point. but then again, 6 months is a tonuva time for some youngsters to make a name for themselves in a division.

Work on his wrestling and jiu jitsu.

Possibly, but losing half a year at age 35 in lightweight is almost fatal especially in a deep division.
I think he should be calling for an Charles rematch as a title eliminator asap when he's ready.

 

[treelo]

this is what happens when you pay people 2m per fight, the goof warned you about this

Not looking great

Arman Tsarukyan	Rank increased by 3
2	Charles Oliveira	Rank decreased by 1
3	Justin Gaethje	Rank decreased by 1
4	Dustin Poirier	Rank decreased by 1
5	Mateusz Gamrot
6	Beneil Dariush	Rank increased by 1
7	Michael Chandler	Rank decreased by 1
8	Rafael Fiziev
9	Max Holloway	NR
10	Renato Moicano	Rank increased by 3
11	Dan Hooker	Rank decreased by 2
12	Jalin Turner	Rank decreased by 2
13	Benoît Saint Denis	Rank decreased by 2
14	Rafael Dos Anjos	Rank decreased by 2
15	Bobby Green

Gamrot and Fiziev were two guys people were thinking of but they have kind of showed their ceiling imo already and Fiziev is still out from an injury too right

BSD just got stopped but he could have potential to win two quick ones in brutal fashion and be right there but other than that it's just old dudes or dudes nowhere near the Islam level

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

Said it 100's of times....Gaethje took the fight instead of a title shot and Ferguson himself.

I think it's moreso his age for me, he's already 35 in lightweight which is old for that weight and he got starched and ran through the whole fight.
We all saw what happened to Tony.

justin fell off so hard

I mean, he's only lost 1 in a row

Age and surprisingly poor TDD, maybe even sketchy BJJ

I just wanted to show with my post that there really aren't any youngsters in the top 15 with that much potential so I wouldn't say 6 months would be a ton of time for something exciting to pop up

its the smart thing to do, health wise
