Schmulenson asked, “What is next for Justin Gaethje? You have the BMF title over there in Salt Lake City. Does he have to fight one more guy to get the title shot, or do you think he is next in line for the 155-pound belt? “

The manager was quick to respond to the YouTuber’s question and expressed that Gaethje would be getting a title shot. He added “Inshallah, Islam will win, and he will fight Justin Gaethje next.
