[And] The most entertaining. With that comes money for sure, especially with the UFC because they appreciate that effort. I give them max effort every time I step in there. The belt? I\u2019m working towards that. I feel like I vacated a belt that I defended eight times, so I\u2019m in the process of trying to get the one that I\u2019m fighting for right now. It\u2019s one fight at a time though and now I got to go out there, and it\u2019s all about how you finish nowadays.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The next time the UFC is on PPV this maniac is back in action! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC218?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFC218<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jwiPLE2YoP\">pic.twitter.com\/jwiPLE2YoP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Scott Bond (@_ScottBond_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_ScottBond_\/status\/927669625579540481?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 6, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There\u2019s plenty of guys that have a claim at the title, but it\u2019s all about who\u2019s going to earn it and who\u2019s going to finish.

The only problem is that Khabib Nurmagomedov is fighting Edson Barboza for a potential number one spot, Dustin Poirier just finished Anthony Pettis, and Conor McGregor&#8217;s next opponent is still undecided. As an undefeated fighter who defended his former championship belt multiple times then came in and took out a top ten lightweight like Michael Johnson, a win over Alvarez at least puts Gaethje as close as anyone of those guys. &#8230;And he won&#8217;t shy away from fighting at least one more of them to get some more gold around his waist.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; padding: 0; max-width: 700px;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"allowtransparency\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"\/\/embeds.audioboom.com\/posts\/6503902-episode-2-569-justin-gaetheje-ali-abdelaziz-andrew-simon\/embed\/v4?eid=AQAAAO2uFVrePWMA\" title=\"audioBoom player\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 11\/22\/2017.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Gaethje dropped his World Series of Fighting lightweight title and never looked back, now he&#8217;s one fight into the UFC and is immediately within reach of a possible title shot.
