TL;DR

Gaethje’s manager Ali Abdelaziz suggested the biggest possible payday for Gaethje could come from a superfight with Islam Makhachev, even proposing he might vacate the lightweight title for the bout. Gaethje, who recently claimed undisputed lightweight champion status after defeating Ilia Topuria in June, will let his coaching staff guide his next move, weighing options like other top contenders but targeting the most lucrative fight rather than necessarily chasing another title bout.
