UFC superstar Conor McGregor is interested in the BMF belt. The Irishman strongly believes that he deserves to be the BMF champion of the world’s biggest MMA promotion. Soon after Justin Gaethje won the belt against Dustin Poirier, McGregor made an unexpected move. He went on to call out ‘The Highlight’, the new BMF champion of the UFC. Presently, McGregor is sidelined from the fighting scene, and many expect him to return to fight against Michael Chandler. Nonetheless, McGregor’s failure to enter the USADA testing pool has prevented the official confirmation of the bout between him and Michael Chandler.

Now, ignoring all these, the Irishman has come forward with a new wish. Gaethje, who won the bout against Poirier at UFC 291 by a head kick in the second round, might get to fight against the UFC superstar. McGregor had turned him down a whopping six times, but now the former UFC double champion believes that it’s the right time to fight Gaethje.

McGregor wants to fight Justin Gaethje

Soon after Justin Gaethje won against Poirier, Conor McGregor took to his Twitter handle to make a wild prediction. McGregor wrote, “I KO him one shot. Guarantee it.” When ‘The Highlight’ came across the prediction of ‘The Notorious’, he wrote back, “Sign the contract big boy.” When the Irishman noticed the demand of the new BMF champion, he chose to give a one-word reply. McGregor replied, “Signed.”

In his thirst for winning the BMF belt, Conor McGregor seems to have ignored his upcoming bout against Michael Chandler, which would put an end to their rivalry as TUF coaches. On the other hand, Chandler always wanted to fight the Irishman and is still looking forward to fighting McGregor. However, now there are more uncertainties regarding the possibility of their bout. 

‘The Highlight’ did not show any interest

It’s interesting to note that in the post-fight press conference for UFC 291, Justin Gaethje showed no interest in fighting Conor McGregor. When asked about a potential bout against McGregor, ‘The Highlight’ said, “I think he’s turned me down six times. Usually, you have to lose to fight him. So I don’t know what’s going on.”
