MMA analyst Michael Bisping has predicted what fight should be next for UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje.

As we know, Justin Gaethje is the UFC lightweight champion courtesy of his epic win over Ilia Topuria at UFC Freedom 250. In terms of what the future holds, though, there are a few different ideas floating around, including a rematch against Topuria, a rematch against Paddy Pimblett, or a showdown with rising star Arman Tsarukyan.

Justin Gaethje has been taking the time to enjoy his championship reign, and there’s been no official announcement regarding whether and when he will defend the belt, and who that may be against.

In a recent video, Michael Bisping laid out what he thinks is going to happen both for Justin Gaethje and others at the top of the lightweight division.

Michael Bisping on Justin Gaethje’s next move

“But back to the original question, when is he [Gaethje] going to fight? Is he going to fight?

“And is it going to be Ilia or is it going to be Arman Tsarukyan? I talked about it all this week and last week on the TV, on the podcast, on YouTube, right? Arman Tsarukyan is now undeniable.

“I think Paddy fights Ilia and I think Justin Gaethje will fight again.”

“Will it be one more [for Gaethje]? I don’t know,” he explained.

“It might be two or three more. We just don’t know. And I’m saying that because I want Justin to come back and you want Justin to come back and everybody wants him to come back.

“And who knows, maybe playing it like this might get him a few more bucks. But regardless, I’ve got a pretty good feeling that within the next couple of months or certainly by the end of the year, we will get an announcement that Justin Gaethje will be fighting Arman Tsarukyan for the undisputed lightweight championship of the world. That’s just my thought.”
