Justin Gaethje would be willing to defend his UFC title against Conor McGregor - so that he can end the Irishman's career.
Gaethje takes on lightweight champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 274 this weekend as he attempts to win the belt at the second time of asking. The American was previously choked out by Khabib Nurmagomedov in what proved to be the Russian's farewell fight.
Gaethje and McGregor have long been rivals without clashing in the cage, but that could all change later this year. "The best part, when you're the champion the target's on your back," Gaethje told The Full Send podcast. "I'm not going to be looking back. At the end of the day I will be the champ and whoever's next will be next. I've just got to keep preparing myself, keep eating properly, keep isolating myself, take away all distractions.
