Sonnen went on to say that the UFC has extra freedom in reserving a high light-weight like Gaethje versus Dustin Poirier.
“For those who received over on Dustin Poirier, you possibly can then do something,” Sonnen mentioned. “Battle for titles, fundamental occasions, there’d be no argument that you just couldn’t match properly into. And Justin Gaethje brings those self same accolades, however there’s one distinction, which is you don’t should be as cautious with the bookings of Gaethje as a result of he’s not in a state of affairs the place he’s saying my subsequent one is my closing one.”
