UFC commentator Jon Anik has revealed that Justin Gaethje was “p****d” at the promotion’s decision to pair Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira in a lightweight title fight.
On 28 June, Topuria and Oliveira will clash over the vacant belt, after Islam Makhachev relinquished the gold to move up to welterweight. There, Makhachev is set for a title shot, just as Topuria will fight for the lightweight title after vacating the featherweight strap in February.
