Conor McGregor returned from retirement to get a new world title, so the right man to get it is Justin Gaethje, who on the UFC return snatched the interim lightweight title from Tony Ferguson. The Irishman will have to defeat the American if he intends to rise to the top of the lightweight, but after the statements he made against the champion, he does not seem to have any intention of facing him.
Some days ago, McGregor decided to issue some warnings and threats to Gaethje In case they will face each other, it is that the European assured that he is going to “butcher him” and even that he would put “his teeth in a damn necklace”.
Gaetjhe’s answer
Following Conor’s tweets, Gaethje decided to respond to the Irishman’s threats and his intention to face it, but he made it clear that his priority is not to measure himself against McGregor, because he would only do it in case Khabib had any problem.
“He is losing a lot of respect in the game and he probably doesn’t care but someone like me, even he would assume I care a little bit right now. He doesn’t have the cards on the table and I’ve put myself in a great position. “
“Now I can choose between fighting Nurmagomedov or Conor and if I wanted to fight Conor right now I could do it, believe me, and for the moment he won’t have me, unless Khabib can’t fight for some reason. “, finished the American.
