An exciting lightweight bout is about to be agreed in the next few days, according to several media outlets.
Former lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler and Justin Gaethje will have verbally agreed to face each other at the upcoming UFC 268 event.
The fight night is scheduled to take place on November 6th in New York, USA. Even though there’s nothing offical up to this moment, a fight between those is one of the most talked about clashes not only the lightweight division, but in the entire UFC.
Gaethje, 32 ,lost his previous battle against former lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov. The two fought at UFC 254 and since then the American has been inactive.
Chandler, 35, also lost his last fight. The American fought Charles Oliveira this past May when the Brazilian TKO’d Chandler to become the new lightweight king.
