“Do Bronx didn’t show up,” Justin Gaethje passionately urges Dana White to book his third UNDISPUTED title fight against Islam Makhachev

BMF champion Justin Gaethje has taken to social media to call out lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. Gaethje is famed for his explosive fighting style and deadly knockout power. ‘The Highlight’ has left no room for doubt while anticipating the highly awaited battle with Makhachev.

Gaethje’s callout comes amid uncertainty over Makhachev’s next opponent. While a fight with Charles Oliveira is expected, it has yet to be formally announced. Gaethje remains unhappy with the prospect of Oliveira becoming the next contender for the 155-pound title. In a social media post, Gaethje disputed Oliveira’s claim to the championship shot. This is what he said:

Waiting on the call. Ready when you are @ufc @danawhite Let’s see who can kick the others head off first  @MAKHACHEVMMA. Do Bronx had his shot and didn’t show up for the rematch.  It is what it is.
