“That Mother F**ker Has Lost Over 15 Times”- Justin Gaethje Hits Out at Nate Diaz States He Will Never Be a World Champion in Mma
Justin Gaethje takes on Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title this weekend. This will be the second shot at the title for ‘The Highlight’ who previously fought for the belt at UFC 254 against Khabib Nurmagomedov and came up short.
After an impressive win over Michael Chandler, Gaethje established himself as the firm favorite for a title fight against the champion who himself has looked extremely impressive in his last 10 fights.
In the build-up to the fight, Gaethje has been going back and forth with an unexpected name in Nate Diaz. The younger Diaz brother fired the first shots when he made fun of Justin Gaethje for being submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov. To which ‘The Highlight’ replied, “I ain’t your bruh you jealous bi*ch @NateDiaz209”. Diaz fired back saying, “Jealous of what bruh.”
In the pre-fight press conference, Gaethje shared his thoughts on his back and forth with Nate Diaz. He said, “That mother f**ker has lost over 15 times like come on, So for him to be criticizing me, for one loss I found that funny. And I think he is jealous because I think he is done.”
‘The Highlight’ continued, “He will never be here, he will never be fighting for a world championship and he will never achieve a world championship. In the history books, I am already a world champion. I don’t like it and I do not accept it I need to make it right on Saturday but I will be in the hall of fame. He should be too but just cause you know, the fans love him.”
Second time is the charm for Justin Gaethje?
Thus far in his UFC career, Gaethje has been involved in one exciting fight after another, which he prides himself on. However, Gaethje’s ultimate aim in the sport was not to be exciting but to win a world championship, which he has not done so far.
Against Oliveira, ‘The Highlight’ has the chance to change that by becoming a champion at the second time of asking. It will be interesting to see if Gaethje can get the job done.
