Conor McGregor calls out Justin Gaethje, again

‘The Notorious’ seems to have no filters whenever he attempts to take a jibe at a fellow UFC fighter. Similarly, he dissed Justin Gaethje for calling out Jorge Masvidal, who announced his retirement at UFC 287 after a string of poor performances. McGregor believes that it does not suit a BMF champion to call out a retired fighter. He said, “The most un-bmf shout ever.”

Additionally, the Irishman also dissed Gaethje for talking about fighting at 155 pounds. Instead, Conor McGregor suggested that ‘The Highlight’ gets into the sauna. “He fights at 155. lol. B*tch. Get into that sauna, b*tch,” said the former double champion. It is important to note that things have heated up between the UFC fighters after Gaethje mentioned that he wants to retire Conor McGregor. Let us take a look at what he had said earlier.

He supposedly wants to end the Irishman’s career as well.
