This will be the second shot at the lightweight title for \u2018The Highlight\u2019 who previously came up short against Khabib Nurmagomedov when the two men met on Fight Island at UFC 254.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the loss to Nurmagomedov, \u2018The Highlight bounced back with a fight of the year win over Michael Chandler at UFC 268 in November 2021. Following the win, he stated that he wanted an immediate title shot and would riot if that did not happen. Dana White and the UFC obliged and Gaethje has the chance to take away the belt from a man who has looked seemingly unstoppable in his past few performances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview with Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports, Gaethje served a cold reminder about his intentions to Oliveira. He said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think the confidence he is here with, the maturity, those are the factors that are different. He\u2019s got great Jiu-Jitsu, he is really good at standup, but his takedowns aren\u2019t super effective, he falls into positions, He uses trips, it\u2019s not a lot of driving double legs. He had a nice double leg against Michael Chandler, that was impressive.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vZjCloKYtlk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018The Highlight\u2019 continued, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut a lot of it is going to be him putting you up against the fence and working from that situation. It is not closing the distance and driving through me. So, I mean, I think he\u2019s going to have to get it to the ground. If not, it is going to look like Tony Ferguson, his face is going to look like Tony Ferguson\u2019s.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/shes-the-greatest-right-now-joanna-jedrzejczyk-heaps-praise-on-former-rival-rose-namajunas-ahead-of-ufc-274\/\">\u2018She\u2019s the Greatest Right Now\u2019- Joanna Jedrzejczyk Heaps Praise on Former Rival Rose Namajunas Ahead of UFC 274<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Second time is the charm for Justin Gaethje?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Justin Gaethje has been in the UFC since 2017.
