Justin Gaethje hasnât been in action since a brutal KO loss back in April, but his manager has revealed a time frame for his return.
Gaethje was last seen inside the Octagon at UFC 300 against Max Holloway. âThe Highlightâ was brutally knocked out in the final second of the fight. It was one of the most fascinating endings to a bout in MMA history.
When Will Justin Gaethje Return to UFC Octagon?
MMA Fighting got a chance to speak with Justin Gaethjeâs manager, Ali Abdelaziz. During the interview, the top MMA manager revealed when Gaethje plans to fight again.
âJustin Gaethjeâs going to fight in March,â Abdelaziz told MMA Fighting. âAgainst who, I have no idea.â
While Abdelaziz hasnât locked in an opponent for Gaethje, he says there are plenty of intriguing options.
âIt can be [Dan] Hooker. It can be Dustin Poirier. It can be [Renato] Moicano,â Abdelaziz said. âWhatever it is. I donât know but I would like to see Justin fight in March. He needs a little bit of time to recover after his last fight. He deserves that.â
Dan Hooker recently met up with Conor McGregor during a BKFC event. McGregor told Bloody Elbowâs Donagh Corby that heâll be fighting Hooker in February 2025.
Renato Moicano has expressed interest in throwing leather with âThe Highlight.â Moicano has even vowed to knock Gaethje out if the two ever collide.
Whatâs next for Dustin Poirier is unknown, but âThe Diamondâ has suggested a BMF tournament. UFC CEO Dana White publicly said he likes the idea of such a tournament, but whether or not itâll lead to anything remains to be seen.
