“They got this big show at the end of the year on Dec. 31, I will be headlining that card no matter what,” said Gaethje.

Gaethje also talks about the many different paths he can take to headline the New York card, which is taking place at Madison Square Garden In New York.

“If I lose this fight, I’ll be in a rematch with Ozzy,” Gaethje said. “If I win this fight and Jason High wins, I’ll be fighting him because that’s who I’ll be calling out. And if Jason loses, I’ll fight Luiz Firmino.”
