Tim Welch thinks everyone is underestimating Justin Gaethje in a potential fight vs. Islam Makhachev.
Gaethje (25-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) re-emerged in the lightweight title picture after a win over Rafael Fiziev, and a head-kick knockout of Dustin Poirier to claim the “BMF” title at UFC 291 in July. With the UFC possibly rebooking the Makhachev (25-1 MMA, 14-1 UFC) vs. Charles Oliveira rematch next, Gaethje said he’d rather wait his turn.
