Conor McGregor targets Justin Gaethje in Twitter tirade following UFC 291: ‘I’ll slap you around’

Conor McGregor is already trying to steal some of Justin Gaethje’s thunder following his spectacular win in the UFC 291 main event.

On Saturday night, Gaethje evened the odds with lightweight rival Dustin Poirier, scoring a masterful head kick knockout just moments into the second round of their headliner. Now holder of the BMF title, ‘The Highlight’ appears to be on his way toward another shot at the UFC lightweight championship.

In true Conor McGregor fashion, it didn’t take long for the Irishman to speak out on social media and seemingly challenge ‘The Highlight’ to a clash in the cage.
