During a recent interview, Islam Makhachev’s manager delivered a stunning revelation regarding his forthcoming bout, following his showdown with Charles Oliveira.

Ali Abdelaziz drops a bombshell on Justin Gaetjhe’s future matchup

Ali Abdelaziz is probably one of the most influential MMA managers of all time. He is the founder of Dominance MMA management company, which manages the most successful fighters of all time, including Khabib Nurmagomedov, Usman Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, Kamaru Usman, Justin Gaethje, and many more.

Abdelaziz, in his most recent escapade, indulged in a conversation with Dave Schmulenson, the face behind the popular YouTube channel featuring ‘The Schmo.’ While having the conversation, Schmulenson inquired Abdelaziz about the Islam Makhachev potential match after the UFC 294 card.

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. This is what we want, and this is what the UFC wants. Justin Gaethje has earned it too. You don’t go out there, knock out Dustin Poirier like that, and not get the title shot.”
