Is Justin Gaethje most deserving of a LW title fight against Islam now

He says so

I don’t hate it. Dana already said Arman has to win another fight now to get back to a title shot

It’s not like there’s a lot of options

Id watch. Always liked justin and islam is a killer, but it seems like it would go the same way with khabib

Most deserving no, but like what was said above there’s not many options. Arman is the rightful #1 contender but he pulled out. I’d rather see Topuria get it. But like gathje and can see him getting it.

I’d like to see Topuria win a fight at LW before getting a title shot

Topuria vs Geathje

Agreed.

Not a fan of immediate title shots when guys move up.

That’d make for an entertaining fight. But I’d rather see Gaethje fight for the belt while Topuria takes on Tsarukyan first.

Or Topuria vs Chandler.

Arman and Gaychi is the fight to make

He’ll make arman v gaejthe

Love Justin but he gets embarrassed if it happens.
Islam is that good and fkng huge for 55

Justin has a negative fight IQ but other than Armen he has the best chance of beating him

not a fan of him trying to diminish his epic KO loss to Blessed, but at this point give it to him so he can lose and shut up already

Justin, Arman and Topuria have the best chance stylistically… Topuria probably the most though but I think they’ll make him fight someone first.

In reality I feel like that was a split decision win for him IMHO not very good showing I don’t think he deserves a shot at the title anytime soon he needs at least two good fights to prove himself I think Fieziv was the better fighter this last time out. They both fought hard but I thought Highlight was getting pieced up most of the fight. Looks like the one knock down by highlight was enough in the judges eyes along with Rafael starting to lose steam in the 3rd
