UFC President Dana White has commented on American fighter Justin Gaethje's ultimatum, who threatened to retire if he doesn't get a title shot.
Dana White, during UFC 317 press conference
Listen, if you’re thinking about retiring, you know how I feel about that, you should probably retire. We love Justin Gaethje and Gaethje did step up [for UFC 300] and he’s been an exciting and fun fighter to have here in the UFC, but to say unless you give me a title shot otherwise I’m retiring, that’s pretty wacky.
Gaethje last fought Rafael Fiziev in March this year at UFC 313, where he won by unanimous decision. His mixed martial arts record stands at 26 wins and 5 losses.
In April 2024, Gaethje stepped into the octagon against Max Holloway at UFC 300, but unfortunately lost the fight by knockout in the fifth round.
