Justin Gaethje has confessed that he plans on retiring from MMA by mid-2027. For now, he still has some business left in the octagon and some goals to fulfill.
The Highlight’ previously was rumored to retire if he lost to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324. However, on fight night, Gaethje put on an overpowering performance, which was enough to dismantle ‘The Baddy’ and win the interim 155-pound championship.
Gaethje, who is the only UFC fighter to win the interim title twice, would look to upgrade its status to undisputed by dethroning Ilia Topuria later this year.
