Al Iaquinta accuses Justin Gaethje of eye-poking Edson Barboza: ‘No one ever said anything’

Al Iaquinta is not all too impressed with Justin Gaethje’s win over Edson Barboza at UFC Philadelphia.

Iaquinta was asked at UFC Ottawa about remarks Gaethje made backstage at UFC 236 in April. Gaethje said Iaquinta was “scared of him,” per MMA Fighting. Iaquinta disagrees with that statement.

“I’m definitely not scared of anybody,” he said at Thursday’s media scrum. “I’m more scared of not fighting for my worth, like some of these guys are working, I’m scared of not managing myself the right way. I’m definitely not scared of fighting anybody.
