Justin Gaethje thinks Conor McGregor is getting desperate.
Shortly after Gaethje’s fifth-round TKO win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 249, McGregor called for a title bout with ‘The Highlight’, urging the newly-crowned interim lightweight champion to forgo his proposed title unification bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov in the summer.
Gaethje appeared to be giving McGregor the silent treatment until the former WSOF lightweight titleholder responded to ‘The Notorious’ in a recent interview with ESPN.
Gaethje rejected McGregor’s offer demand and said the former UFC two-division champ is losing respect among his fellow fighters.
