Khabib Nurmagomedov has blasted Justin Gaethje over the American's demands for a title shot, telling his former rival to 'shut up and accept' that Islam Makhachev is more deserving of a tilt at the lightweight throne.
Gaethje, 32, defeated Michael Chandler in a thrilling UFC 268 contest last weekend to move a step closer to a shot at the 155-pound belt.
The Highlight said he would 'riot' if he was not guaranteed a fight with the winner of Charles Oliveira v Dustin Poirier next, insisting that he has earned a championship fight over his lightweight rivals.
