The former UFC two-division champion like the rest of the world will be keen on seeing how the long-awaited Lightweight unification bout plays out.
‘The Highlight’ will present ‘The Eagle’ his strongest challenge to this point given his pedigree as a wrestler. He earned the shot on the back of an incredible TKO against Tony Ferguson. Gaethje is one who will try his best to fight out of being tied down near the fence.
He knows exactly what he needs to stop, but so have many of Nurmagomedov’s previous opponents. However, they have all come and gotten conquered.

Should ‘The Eagle’ win and retain, the big-name opponents will start circulating even more. A clash with a fellow grappler in ‘GSP’ would be an enticing prospect and a fitting end to both their careers.
St-Pierre retired as Middleweight Champion in 2017. He won the belt after a 4-year hiatus and despite his inactivity over the last 7 years, there is always buzz around a potential fight featuring him.
