Poirier and Oliveira meet next month in the main event of UFC 269, and Gaethje is hoping that he gets to face the winner of that matchup for the belt. However, he is unsure if Poirier would actually go ahead and fight him again.<\/p>\n<p>Although Poirier has a previous win over Gaethje by KO from 2018, it&#8217;s Gaethje&#8217;s opinion that he wouldn&#8217;t fight him again, as he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2021\/11\/12\/22777832\/justin-gaethje-questions-if-dustin-poirier-would-actually-face-himrematch-i-think-he-just-walks-away\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting.com<\/a> in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope Oliveira wins. A part of me thinks, after I fought Dustin Poirier, I went outside and I took 100, 200 pictures and I felt great, not one thought or emotion from that fight am I scared to experience again. I know for a fact when Dustin Poirier has to step in there with me again, he\u2019s going to remember and constantly be analyzing that night. He was not out taking pictures. He was probably in the most pain of his f*cking life,&#8221; Gaethje said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he doesn\u2019t land the shot in the first round, he knows he\u2019s going to have to go through that again. If he beats Charles Oliveira, I don\u2019t know if he fights me. I think he just walks away, calls it good. So I kind of hope Charles Oliveira wins so I get to fight him March, April, May. If Dustin Poirier wins, I\u2019m going to have to really entice him to f*cking get in there again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you think we will see the rematch between Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier or do you agree with Gaethje that Poirier would rather walk away than fight him again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC lightweight contender Justin Gaethje believes that divisional rival Dustin Poirier would rather walk away than fight him again.
