Justin Gaethje went viral after his appearance on Andrew Shultz's ‘Flagrant’ podcast, teasing retirement from the UFC and a lack of desire to rematch Ilia Topuria or fight Arman Tsarukyan. See why DC says that there are NO GOOD OPTIONS for Gaethje here between retirement or fighting No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan, Conor McGregor, and even doing the rematch with Ilia Topuria. Arman is currently a heavy favorite in that fight, Topuria was already favored in a rematch following Justin's White House win, and Conor McGregor would mean he'd have to likely vacate the championship belt. Hear DC break it all down, and speak on what he believes is next for the champ. #Volume 18+ Only. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply. Not available in all jurisdictions.
