Conor McGregor blasts ‘Bird brain’ Justin Gaethje: ‘He got a title shot off a single win’

Conor McGregor snapped back at Justin Gaethje after ‘The Highlight’ said he would walk away from the UFC should McGregor earn a title opportunity with a win over Michael Chandler.

‘The Notorious’ is currently slated for a return to the Octagon this fall following a stint on the promotion’s long-running reality series The Ultimate Fighter opposite ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler. McGregor has already expressed his desire to compete for UFC gold should he walk away with a win over the former Bellator champion. However, that decision could very well cost the promotion one of their top lightweight contenders.
