After a performance like that, everyone expects Gaethje to fight for the title next. Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier will meet at UFC 269 in a UFC lightweight title fight. The winner should face âThe Highlightâ next.
Chandler, on the other hand, is now on a two-fight losing streak. He recently called out Conor McGregor on Twitter, to which the Irishman obliged. And certainly, that is one fight that will get the fans excited.
