He doesn’t expect Ferguson to want the same. “He’ll probably say I’m not worthy,” Gaethje (18-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) said after a second-round stoppage of Michael Johnson (17-12 MMA, 9-8 UFC) that won him two bonuses and put him in the running for “Fight of the Year.” “He lost to Michael Johnson; I just finished him. So he’ll be full of (expletive) when he says that.” Regardless of how Ferguson responds to the callout, Gaethje plans to continue his conquest of the lightweight division. He estimates he’s one or two steps from facing off with lightweight champ Conor McGregor. If Ferguson demurs, he’ll take a fight with McGregor foil Nate Diaz.
