Conor McGregor promises to ‘f**king butcher’ Justin Gaethje next, calls Khabib Nurmagomedov ‘an embarrassment’

Conor McGregor is obviously ready to fight again after taking aim at both lightweight champions following UFC 249 this past Saturday night.

The Irish superstar took to Twitter on Monday where he blasted new interim champion Justin Gaethje as well as former opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov in a series of volatile messages.

After rumors swirled for months about a potential fight between them, McGregor unleashed on Gaethje after he earned a fifth-round TKO to stop Tony Ferguson to win the interim title. Gaethje called for a fight against McGregor for months but the matchup never came together.
