UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has warned Justin Gaethje about his title shot ultimatum and apparent feud with the promotion.
As we know, Justin Gaethje isnt particularly happy right now. He wants a shot at the UFC lightweight championship, and he seemingly isnt going to stop until he gets it. Unfortunately, a parade of other contenders are currently waiting in line to try and claim their own opportunity to fight current champion Ilia Topuria.

Gaethje, though, has been unhappy for a while. Hes even suggested that he could retire from the sport of mixed martial arts if he doesnt get what he believes he deserves a fight for the belt. Of course, hes also having to battle it out with Max Holloway, Arman Tsarukyan and Paddy Pimblett, who all feel like they have a case.
In a recent video, Daniel Cormier provided his thoughts on Gaethjes situation.
It sounds to me like Justin Gaethje, as he said before, Hey, title fight or retirement, it sounds like he is more than willing to stand by that, Cormier said.
That would suck. MMA is better when Justin Gaethje is fighting. We just had to watch Dustin Poirier retire last weekend and that absolutely sucked.
Justin seems very, very stern in the idea that if he has to fight Paddy Pimblett&hes not gonna do it, Cormier continued. That sucks because I dont know that its going to make the UFC say, We have to give Justin Gaethje a title fight.
I dont know that theyre gonna do that, especially when you go through all the things&that Arman has a case, Paddy has a case.
