In the post-fight media interaction, the American slammed UFC legend and commentator Michael Bisping for biased commentary. Gaethje was of the opinion that Kamaru Usman should have been the winner. He ripped ‘The Count’ apart for being biased toward Leon Edwards.

Justin Gaethje expressed his dissent about the result of the main event where ‘Rocky’ was adjudged the winner against ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’. He expressed his opinions blatantly when a reporter asked him about his views on the main event.

Justin Gaethje was not happy with Bisping’s commentary

When a reporter asked the Lightweight contender, Gaethje about what he thought about the main event. ‘The Highlight’ looked pretty disappointed by the results and the commentary. The 24-4-0 record holder said, “Yeah, I mean I thought he won the fight, but I am probably as biased as the judges, certainly not as biased as Michael Bisping, he shouldn’t have been nowhere near a microphone, during that fight. Yeah, sucks. Is that something that UFC should look at, having guys who are friends of the people fighting or commenting? It’s not my call, but it was very unprofessional. ”
