Among the amazing fights at UFC 268, the one fight that truly stood out was Justin Gaethje vs. Michael Chandler. It’s a fight that many, including Bisping, are hailing as “one of the best fights ever.”
In a reaction video posted to his official YouTube channel, Michael Bisping explained just how incredible it was to witness Justin Gaethje’s three-round war with Michael Chandler.

Justin Gaethje aims to face the winner of the UFC 269 lightweight title bout
Having defeated Michael Chandler via unanimous decision at UFC 268, Justin Gaethje gave props to him during the post-fight octagon interview. Demanding a title shot, Gaethje said:
Presently, reigning UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira is set to defend his title against Dustin Poirier at UFC 269 on December 11. The winner of this fight will likely defend their title in early 2022. However, the UFC is yet to officially confirm who’ll receive the next shot at the 155-pound belt.
No. 4-ranked UFC lightweight Islam Makhachev picked up a spectacular win at UFC 267 last month, and many believe the Dagestani fighter has entered the title mix at lightweight. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether or not Justin Gaethje’s UFC 268 performance earns him the title shot before Makhachev.
