History is often written by the Victor, and while Justin might be making solid points, in the end of the day Dustin knocked him the fuck out on his way to fighting Khabib.
Gaethje is getting the shot AFTER Dustin and with a far less impressive resume outside of Tony.
Dustin's right in the regard that he DID put in the work, he had to fight 4 former Champions in a row, whereas Gaethje had to get by James FUCKING Vick, Cowboy and Barboza. Damn near LAY UPS when you compare them to Eddie Alvarez and Max Holloway. Eddie Alvarez by the way planted Gaethje's face into the fucking floor with a Knee, so his Resume is STILL better than Gaethje's.
