Sean Shelby's Shoes: What's next for Justin Gaethje after UFC 313 win?

Justin Gaethje provided answers at UFC 313 to the questions about the state of his career after he was on the receiving end of arguably the greatest knockout in MMA history.

Nearly 11 months after he was flattened by Max Holloway at the buzzer in an all-time moment at UFC 300, Gaethje (26-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) showed that result wasn’t a defining turning point for the worse when he returned to outgun Rafael Fiziev in the Fight of the Night on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

After the victory, Gaethje said he still has ambitions of claiming the undisputed lightweight championship and has eyes on a fight with Islam Makhachev.

Will he get it, though, or are Gaethje’s dreams of a title shot misguided?

Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Gaethje’s future after UFC 313.
