Conor McGregor never seems to stop taking shots at his fellow UFC fighters on social media. A clip resurfaced from ‘The Ultimate Fighter 26’, where Justin Gaethje was talking about the infectivity of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu during fights. However, Conor McGregor clapped right back at ‘The Highlight’ in a Twitter post.

McGregor will be making his second appearance as a coach on the 31st season of the popular UFC reality show, ‘The Ultimate Fighter’. Moreover, he recently stumbled across an old video of Justin Gaethje advising a fighter from his team to not rely on jiu-jitsu.

Conor McGregor hit’s back at Justin Gaethje’s comments on BJJ

‘The Highlight’ was seen advising flyweight fighter Gillian Robertson to use more striking than jiu-jitsu. He claims that jiu-jitsu isn’t a real fighting style. Gaethje said, “Jiu-jitsu is… I am probably gonna get hate, you know, people from that community. It’s a passive sport.” He added, “You can never win. Like, this is not wrestling or jiu-jitsu or kickboxing or boxing. It’s all of it combined. So you can never win a fight on your back or with your back on a cage.”

However, Conor McGregor wasn’t impressed with Gaethje’s opinion and tweeted: “Justin Gaethje is a handicap.” He clearly didn’t agree with ‘The Highlight’s assessment and decided to hit back at him on social media. On the other hand, Justin Gaethje shared a few thoughts on McGregor’s UFC comeback.

‘The Highlight’ appeared in an interview with ‘The Schmo’ where he shared his thoughts on Michael Chandler taking on Conor McGregor in the latter’s comeback fight. Justin Gaethje wasn’t too pleased with the matchup. He claimed that Conor McGregor only fought with those fighters whom he has already beaten.

Gaethje mentions that he doesn’t care about the fight but believes the upcoming season of TUF will be an exciting one for the viewers. He even went on to say that he will pirate the show.
