Speaking on an episode of his Beyond the Fight YouTube series, ‘The American Gangster’ praised Gaethje’s athleticism. He also talked about how ‘The Highlight’ used the “leg pass” to get in the head of Chandler.

What’s next for Justin Gaethje?
After over a year away from the octagon, Justin Gaethje returned to action and went to war with Michael Chandler at UFC 268. ‘The Highlight’ was victorious via unanimous decision, proving that he still belongs at the top of the 155-pound division.
In his post-fight interview, Gaethje asked for a fight against the winner of Charles Oliveira vs. Dustin Poirier. The lightweight title clash is set to main event UFC 269 on December 11.
It appears likely that Gaethje’s will be granted by the UFC. The only fighter who can dispute ‘The Highlight’s claim to a title shot is Islam Makhachev. However, the Dagestani will likely need a victory over a top-five opponent in order to secure his place opposite the champion.
