UFC interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje has three more fights on his wishlist post which, the hard-hitting lightweight wants to hang up his gloves. Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, and Dustin Poirier are the three fighters "The Highlight" wants to throw down with before bringing down the curtains on his professional fighting career.

Well, one name that is definitely going to be ticked off Gaethje's wishlist is lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov as the pair is likely to throw down in an epic title unification bout in September this year.

Justin Gaethje wants to create history before calling time on his fighting career

In a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Justin Gaethje said he had to struggle his way up the ranks and fight a lot of odds to be where he is at the moment and that he relishes the opportunity to fight Nurmagomedov for the title in September.

“I’m in a great position because I get to fight for a title. There’s some 500 odd people on this roster, every single one of them would want to be in my position right now. But I also have the ability to bring some kind of rhyme or reason, a way, a way to a title shot. For young guys that come in, they think politics run the show. They ultimately do, but there is a small chance that you get a say in your destiny and eliminate politics. That what I just did. Politics were gonna f**k me. I wasn’t going to get the fight. Conor was going to somehow or someway get that fight. Now, I got the chance to go out there and I did what I did.”
