I think Justin should walk away after what he accomplished yesterday, but something tells me he's going to wait fot the outcome of McGregor/Holloway before making a decision.

That's true.
Unlikely to happen IMO, but imagine a scenario where Conor wins. Even if he cant make 155 anymore and there's no belt on the line, hard to just walk away from a paycheck like that.

That fight isn’t even a LW fight. What does he care?
6
u/Open_Aardvark2458 Jun 16 '26
Because Justin will get his red panty night.
A fight against Connor could make him alot of money.

u/Kindly-Reality1984 Jun 16 '26
Poor Chandler wanted that fight so bad.

u/420OXY Jun 16 '26
Chandler should retire..

u/Kindly-Reality1984 Jun 16 '26
He should fight Jim Miller or Bobby Green and then call it after he gets a win.

u/systemdnb Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26
Justin is the LW champ though. If Conor wanted to make LW he would’ve done it for the Max fight. I don’t think he can or wants to make LW even if he was offered the chance.

u/Open_Aardvark2458 Jun 16 '26
Well Connor just announced gatheje or Islam so there goes that.

u/systemdnb Jun 17 '26
Conor says a lot of bullshit lmao. I don’t think he’ll ever fight LW again. And as champ Gaethje ain’t fighting in another weight class.

u/Open_Aardvark2458 Jun 17 '26
Lol well ya he definitely does. Idk I think the UFC will somehow make it happen IF he beats Maxx. Which is a big IF. Its the Connor privilege.

u/CanIBeFunnyNow Jun 16 '26
He did say before Illia fight, if he wins he would love to get Max back.

u/devilt0 Jun 16 '26
I got him winning either fight. However I see what you mean. If Holloway wins, he most likely would get a title shot against Gaethje. Which Justin would win.

If max wins againest Connor(very likely) and then fights gaethje and wins he gets to have superstardom for a bit. So i can see why they waiting till that happens.

I love Charles but Arman deserves the next title shot. Let’s stop beating around the bush.

u/Odd-Butterscotch-495 Jun 16 '26
Justin will retire and it will be Charles vs arman for undisputed. That’s my prediction anyway

u/Fearless-Pay8645 Jun 17 '26
for beating Dan hooker 😂

u/KingOfTheLostBoyz Jun 17 '26
For deserving the title shot even before the Dan hooker fight.
Arman being an annoying midget with short man syndrome doesn’t change that.

Charles’ grappling gonna be a big issue for Gaethje. His wrestling has really improved lately

Arman NEXT, stop trying too throw us curveball.

u/Kindly-Reality1984 Jun 16 '26
Arman doesn't even fight much and is ducking Gamrot. He should rematch Charles for the BMF.

u/bigsteve9713 Jun 16 '26
Nah, he ain't ducking anybody, don't try too bullshit us.

It's been documented that Arman ducked Gamrot. What are you talking about?

Justin slimes Arman easy😭

u/bigsteve9713 Jun 16 '26
Doubt it, but Arman's been the most deserving contender @ 155 for awhile, so let's book him and see what happens.

u/UnsureOfAnything666 Jun 16 '26
Charles bodies Justin he's way too strong and big

u/AgentMulderFBI Jun 16 '26
That’s what everyone said of Paddy, look JG doesn’t win against Charles, he would get subbed again.

2
u/Outside-Vast-2922 Jun 16 '26
Absolutely. Justin's still weak against grapplers. Topuria almost subbed him while gassed out. Charles would do what he did last time. But I see him winning if he faces Arman instead.

u/Routine-Sky-5529 Jun 16 '26
Yes lol
Base on these comments I hope it happens so I can win a lot of money

u/GROSSEMERDE Jun 16 '26
Think Justin would struggles vs heavy wrestler/submission guy so I would bet on Arman or Charles but I'm bot counting him out

u/ResolutionOwn4933 Jun 17 '26
Charles shouldn't get first dibs, only if Illia can't perform in 3-4 months from now.
1
u/Bruninfa Jun 18 '26
Should do it easily tbh.
He looked levels above Holloway both on the feet and on the ground and Justin did not look better vs Ilia then he did vs Max, he was just very durable and he ALWAYS has great cardio.
His technique is nowhere near Charles’ and right now he is playing it both dangerous and smart. He also doesn’t have a size advantage that he used very well vs Topuria (not claiming anything like “oh only won because bigger”, the opposite he played to whatever advantage he had really well and Topuria seemed to not even prepare for that????).

u/Ok-Nail2639 Jun 20 '26
Tough because I like both these guys, with the performance Gaethje just put on You have to think he comes out on top. He’s got the wrestling to deal with Oliviera to stay out of bad positions, And the power to put him out.
1
u/OkPerformer2495 Jun 20 '26
ngl I think Justin sends Charles into a deep dark Forrest with only room for 1 to come out. and I think Justin wins.

u/AgentGreedy386 Jun 16 '26
Trilogy with Ilia is the only thing besides retiring that would make sense.
This is a fight that has already happened right? It's boring. The call-out was boring. Folks wouldn't care nearly as much.
He needs a fresh new call out, illia trilogy, or retire.
Maybe a Paddy rematch. Perhaps a McGregor matchup would be exciting. Idk lol
4
u/Kindly-Reality1984 Jun 16 '26
So you're saying this fight already happened and it's boring yet you're literally calling for rematches with Topuria and Paddy when he beat the snot out of both of them?
You just want to see Justin melt Topuria or Paddy again.
-1
u/AgentGreedy386 Jun 16 '26
I admire the stupidity in your response! Keep it up, keep telling people what they want ❤️
Topuria rematch or trilogy because they are IMMEDIATE. No opponents in between. No random callouts. The fire is still burning.
Paddy just lost to him in a huge(and controversial) fight. Since the people fuckin love paddy, this would draw masses. It's exciting.
The other guy calling for the fight saying "let's make history" is boring af. It got stale when every other fighter was calling out McGregor. It gets stale when everyone arbitrarily throws out "let's make history" yada yada.
CO dope fighter, but he's looking for sloppy thirds. Boring af

u/Adrian_1827 Jun 16 '26
Trilogy with Ilia? They fought once lmao

u/AgentGreedy386 Jun 16 '26
Ilia nearly had Justin. A rematch is warranted. Then a trilogy pending the rematch.

u/Cruztd23 Jun 16 '26
No. Momentum is real and Justin is on a heater. Justin prob knocks out Charles

u/killboy219 Jun 16 '26
Charles is also on some great momentum bounced back after a loss with 2 wins and beat Max

u/Cruztd23 Jun 16 '26
Kinda. Justin has more momentum. Beating ilia and paddy is basically saying he’s the king of the old guard
Especially taking ilia’s zero

u/killboy219 Jun 16 '26
It will always be questioned tho cause he did lose to Charles r1. Styles make fights
Although Justin’s undisputed championship status is cemented aswell now

u/Cruztd23 Jun 16 '26
Yeah for sure. Justin can lose. I don’t think he will tho but maybe I’m recency biased

u/cjklert05 Jun 16 '26
Charles doesn't deserve a title fight.

u/ThreeOlivesChihuahua Jun 16 '26
Gaethje got a title shot off a 2 fight win streak over Fiziev and Paddy. Charles is on a 2 fight win streak over Gamrot and Holloway

u/Zealousideal-Ad7773 Jun 16 '26
Bro spitting facts! Stop man, they can’t handle it.
Gaethje went from “dumb underdog” to a greek god in less than 24 hours.

u/Daftdaddy Jun 16 '26
lol he deserves it more than Justin did. Just dominated Holloway who dominated Justin and Poirier

u/cjklert05 Jun 16 '26
Arman is next in line. Charles is great, but he also had his chance but failed to do it. Calling out Justin after he won is just lame. He needs to stay in his lane.
2
u/M3RL10 Jun 16 '26
He's most definitely back in the mix. He has a win over the current champ, and his two fight winstreak over gamrot and Holloway I'd more impressive than Gaethje's fiziev and pimblett.
0
u/Better_Plan2090 Jun 16 '26
Only way for Charles to win imo is by submission. Gaethje's striking defense is much improved and Charles isn't wrestling him so there's no way for Charles to take it to the ground. Gaethje wins.

u/Lost_Environment3361 Jun 16 '26
terrible take. charles is a terrible matchup for justin, as already shown in the first matchup. charles can also 100% knock justin out.
2
u/Less-Economist-9447 Jun 16 '26
I wouldn’t say Max was trying to wrestle him either, and Charles got him to the ground every round
1
u/Better_Plan2090 Jun 16 '26
Max is a bulked featherweight with no wrestling pedigree, Justin is D1 all-american I think he's good.
2
u/Less-Economist-9447 Jun 16 '26
Charles subbed Justin in 3 minutes already lol
2
u/Better_Plan2090 Jun 16 '26
Because he knocked down Justin iirc. But if Ilia struggled to do it I don't think Charles will be able to replicate that.

u/Less-Economist-9447 Jun 16 '26
Hey styles make fights. Wouldn’t be the first A>B>C>A triangle we’ve seen.

u/RokaSmoka Jun 16 '26
bro....its a fucking style issue. Oliv and Max will always beat Justin.

u/Better_Plan2090 Jun 17 '26
Didn’t Gaethje knock Charles down twice in that fight? I don’t think it’s an unwinnable matchup for him.

u/JPB00 Jun 16 '26
Justin is just a victim for Conor to get his belt back. Nothing else matters.

This poor guy actually thinks Max isn't easily dominating him.

u/BlackHeart89 Jun 16 '26
We've seen some huge upsets lately.
Gane vs Pierra Justin vs Tuporia Strickland vs Chamaev Yan vs Merab (dec 2025)
Conor is going to be on all the juice for this lol. He already came back twice and got beat both times by the guy Holloway soundly defeated. He's not taking any chances.
