The UFC 286 co-main eventer, Justin Gaethje, chose to stand out from the judge’s decision of declaring Leon Edwards as the victor of the UFC 286 main event.

Talking about his judgment of seeing Usman as the UFC 286 main event winner, Gaethje stated, “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”.

Gaethje’s opinion was also shared by some noted MMA coverage houses as well. The comments section of their social media posts showcased that a lot of fans carried a similar opinion.

Aljamain Sterling provided hints towards moving up to Featherweight

Aljamain Sterling was evidently impressed by the superb performance showcased by the UFC featherweight star Jack Shore. The ‘Welsh fighter’ submitted his opponent, Makwan Amirkhani, in the second round with a rear naked choke. It was also his first fight at featherweight. The UFC bantamweight king also put out a tweet appreciating Shore’s superb performance.

However, some might view this tweet as an indication of Sterling’s potential move to featherweight as well. After the UFC Fight Night 221 victory of his dear friend and division mate, Merab Dvalishvili, ‘The Machine’ stood in line as his next opponent for a shot at the bantamweight Gold. But Dvalishvili refused to take up the title shot, which required him to fight his friend.

Instead, ‘the Georgian’ stated that he would wait till Sterling decides to move up to featherweight. He also revealed that he will go for a title only after that. But now, fans might say that Sterling probably is making way for his friend, Dvalishvili, so that he can have a shot at the UFC featherweight gold.
