Conor McGregor Accepts Justin Gaethje’s Offer With 1 Word Reply After Claiming Brutal Outcome for BMF Star After UFC 291
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.
