The anticipated match up between Justin Gaethje and UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira is set for May 7th according to UFC president Dana White. The news was broken by Brett Okomoto of ESPN on his Twitter Wednesday.
This fight will be Justin Gaethje’s second attempt at 155 Pound gold after coming up short vs Khabib Nurmagomedov back at UFC 254. Since then, Gaethje has beaten Michael Chandler, the same man Charles Oliveira ko’d to win the vacant lightweight title following Khabib’s retirement. Oliveira has since successfully defended his title vs Dustin Poirer. This fight is guaranteed to be a barn burner and any more news on location and undercard details will be broke here on Bodyslam.net!
