While waiting to define his next step in the UFC, Charles of the Bronx sees the list of people interested in having him as an opponent grow. The name of the moment is an old acquaintance of the Brazilian: Justin gaethje.
Finished by Charles of the Bronx in a controversial title fight in 2022, when the Brazilian was stripped of the lightweight title (up to 70,3 kg) after failing on the scales in a controversial weigh-in, the North American included the Brazilian in a list of four targets for his return to the octagon.

“I have a list. I think Dan Hooker, Charles of the Bronx, Dustin poirier e Alexander Volkanovsky It's a list of four people that I think would do for me what I need to do to get back into the conversation for the belt," Gaethje revealed in an interview with 'MMA Fighting'.
Former interim champion and two-time challenger for the linear lightweight belt, Justin gaethje recovers from the brutal knockout he suffered in the BMF belt fight against Max Holloway in history UFC 300. At 35 years old, the American guarantees that retirement is not yet an option and that he sees a new race for the belt as something accessible.
“I didn’t think about it too much. I got knocked out, woke up and thought, ‘I want to play golf.’ I’ve been playing golf pretty much every day since then. I’ve worked really hard for a long time to get here, to fight in front of a crowd, and I love performing. I’m not ready to give that up. This sport is crazy. Poirier lost to me and got to fight for the belt afterward. Honestly, you just have to stay out there, be a guy who can take those fights. Anything can happen,” he concluded.
