Once again Islam comes up with an excuse. This time it’s an injury.
I always knew I would be part of the White House event. Even when the UFC told me at one point that they wouldn’t count on me for the event, I knew it was part of the negotiation.
When they finally told me I would be on the White House card, they mentioned Islam and I didn’t hesitate for a second to accept the fight.
Even though the fight hadn’t been officially confirmed yet, the White House card was going to be announced the next day. And when I woke, I found out that Islam had gotten injured.
And then Justin Gaethje appeared.
Once again, someone else who will pay for Islam’s escape.
Both of their manager is a bitch and also ugly as hell.
Justin, see you at the White House. I’m not someone who humiliates people.
It will be quick. When you wake up, everything will already be over.
On June 28, another dream will come true. I’ll be the champion of the lightweight division. Charles, my apologies in advance… I’m just fighting for my dreams. It’s unfortunate that Makhachev ran away. 17-0 🌹
Thank you, Dana White and @lorenzofertita. Thank you to the UFC.
And most of all — thank you, my fans.
You were the fuel behind every walk to the cage. You made me a king.
If this was my farewell, know that I leave in peace.
With a heart full of gratitude and my head held high.
