Justin Gaethje schedules nose surgery before ‘one last run toward the title’

LAS VEGAS – Justin Gaethje isn’t done chasing the UFC lightweight championship.

Gaethje (23-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) has fallen short of undisputed gold on two occasions against Khabib Nurmagomedov, and more recently, Charles Oliveira at UFC 274 in April. He’s remained silent in the fallout of his second title loss, but now he’s ready to speak about his future.

The former interim UFC titleholder said he’s going to be out of action for several more months as he prepared for an upcoming nose surgery, which is a nuisance he’s been dealing with for well over a decade, he said.
