Not really shocking. Who else do they have to match up against Gaethje? Just taking a look at WSOF Lightweight roster, Its shocking how far Tyson Griffin has fallen. Fight game has totally passed him by in a bad way. He's only 29 too...Comment -
Recent reports indicated that the lightweight standout Newell had been granted a title shot against Gaethje, but WSOF matchmaker Ali Abdelaziz said nothing is official just yet.
"I said this is a fight, I think Nick Newell deserves it, but I have to talk to both camps," Abdelaziz told Bleacher Report. "It's going to be a timing issue."
Newell last fought at WSOF 7, where he submitted Sabah Fadai in Round 1 via guillotine choke. The win placed Newell in the lightweight title picture, but Abdelaziz said he does not know if Newell and his camp would be willing to wait until the summer for a potential showdown with Gaethje.
"I don't know if Nick Newell will want to wait this long—until June or July," Abdelaziz said. "I just have to be sure both guys agree and it fits our TV schedule. It has to make sense all around because it's such a big fight. It would go down in the summer, but it's not confirmed yet."
