Now that he's beaten Fiziev again, what next for Justin?

title fight vs Islam?
trilogy vs Poirier?
rebook with Hooker?
or something else?
 
Having again a close fight with the number 11 ranked opponent, should push Gaethje out of the top five and have him nowhere close to title contention.
Rebook the Hooker match or book him against Gamrot.
 
I had frequently spoke about how Fiz was the worst choice for a fill-in because it will earn Justin nothing, and was basically told to stuff it because it'd be exciting.

Less than 4 hours after he won and this thread has people not only calling for him to get booked for the same original fight, (meaning he's right where he was before beating Fiz, no different) but even calling for him to drop in the rankings and out of the top 5 and any title consideration.

This is why it should have been an opponent that mattered
 
Arman or rebook the hooker fight I'd say. Poirier trilogy for Dustin's retirement also an option
 
No TS after winning again against Bumziev!

JG should, same as DP, have one or two more legend fights and retire

He stays in the top 5 until a lower ranked fighter can beat him.

But I do agree they should rebook the Hooker fight
 
Arman vs Gaethje. Maybe Olivera rematch. I hate LW, because I think guys like Dustin and Gaethje sort of been sitting on their rank, but they've beat the guys that they gave a chance. Gaethje is still damn good. He had a guaranteed title shot he threw away before losing to Max. Feel like he should be right there, if Arman or Topuria are out, then he's next in line to lose to Islam.
