News Jon Anik: Justin Gaethje ‘was pissed’ to be passed over for UFC 317 title fight

Damn lightweight fucking sucks
LW is very exciting especially with Islam out of the picture since he pretty much gutted that division. 155 has a murderous row of fighters in Ilia, Arman, Charles, Gaethje, Paddy, Holloway & Hooker. Guys like Moicano, Gamrot, & BSD are dangerous as well.
 
Why does Gaethje insist on being a title contender, he completely shits the bed in most big fights he gets.
 
Justin angry for no good reason again? Not surprised





Reminds me of an autistic person
 
maybe he shouldn’t look like complete horseshit in both his title shot opportunities and also just got ktfo’d a year ago
 
Gets face planted by Holloway , then beats #10 Fiziev on short notice = a title shot now?

I agree it doesn't merit a title shot but considering the UFC gave it to Oliveira who is also on a 1 fight win streak with his last win being against weaker competition, Gaethje has a point.
 
My guy he fought Khabib in 2020 get over it..
He got slept by Holloway, didn’t look great against an injured Fiziez on 2 week notice. Most fans were outraged at the idea of Islam defending against Gaethje, they should be similarly outraged at the idea of Ilia getting his first LW defense against Gaethje when you have guys like Arman, Pimblett, etc who are much more intriguing matchups and deserve it more.

Weaker competition? After beating Justin, Charles lost to Islam then beat a Dariush who hadn't lost in 5 years coming from a 8 fight winning streak (the start of the downfall). Then Charles lost to Arman on a split decision and won against an over the hill Chandler.
After losing to Charles, Justin beat Fiziev on a split decision, beat Dustin (great win), got dominated and flatlined by Max then beat a short notice Fiziev coming from injury in a 2 fight losing streak and 1,5 years away from the octagon.

I get it that Charles doesnt deserve it, but Justin deserve it less. Blame it on Arman for screwing it up and missing weight.
BTW, Charles fight against Chandler was dubbed as a title eliminator by the UFC. This I blame on the UFC for trying to reward Chandler after the Mcgregor debacle.

UFC should stop rewarding fighters who sit out

No he doesn't. Olivera has so much for going for him and done more the last couple years and is more deserving. For one, he's actually a defending champion. Two, Olivera already had a title shot booked vs Islam to which he got injured and had to pull out right after beating Dariush on a big streak. So after losing his title, he established himself as the #1 contender. Then he lost a split decision to Arman in a #1 contender fight in a very close fight. And then he beat Chandler to get a W.

Going back two years, Gaethje is 1-1 with a KO loss and win over Fiziev. Olivera in that time frame is 2-1 and the lone loss being a split to Arman.

Arman is the right guy and #1 contender, but he's been told to fight again. So after that, it's clearly Charles.
 
Makes sense Justin wants a title with all the contenders he's beaten. Like... and that guy... uhhh...

In 2 years who we got besides Ilia Paddy and Charles?
 
This smells like Ali putting ideas in Justin's head. Didn't Ali basically use Justin to prop up one of his brothers a few years ago? I'll try to find it...


But Charles deserves it more 4 shore. Love Justin (no homosapian), but c'mon guy
 
And that vacant title fight he was talking about was less than a year after that? So it's a relevant point?

He lost his title shot. The belt went vacant and he was so upset that he wasn't picked for the vacant fight (despite beating no one since) that after getting one win over Chandler, he said there would be a "riot" if he didn't get the shot. So he got his second shot off of ONE win. And now he's here on a one fight win streak again, pissed that he wasn't picked for a title shot again. Savvy?
Amber Heard shit your bed?
 
Literally no one thinks that (judges, media, the fighters)

If you find yourself in a situation where you think the rest of the entire world knowledgeable about something is wrong, you are likely the bozo.

- Dustin is about to have the last fight of his career and is well outside his prime
- Dustin and JG are 1-1, when they were both in their prime, Dustin put him away in a fun fight
- Max out classed Justin over 5 rounds then literally beat him to sleep.

Dustin is retiring because he doesn't have it anymore. JG never had it - his entire career almost as a rule, he loses to ranked fighters. Getting to go 1-1 with Dustin was the exception not the rule.

Justin is solidly top 10 and a fun fighter, no he is not a contender. He is not on that skill level and has never been on that skill level, which is why he gets blown out of the water against elite fighters.
Whata ridiculous post
 
It should be Arman vs Ilia for the vacant title, but nevertheless I'm just happy to see Ilia fighting a top dog at 155. Charles vs Ilia is gonna be an absolute banger.

& when they make Gaethje vs Paddy, that'll be a banger too.
Ilia should be nowhere near a Lw title shot.

It's a farce.
