Justin Gaethje says it’s a ‘crock of sh-t’ if Conor McGregor gets title rematch with Khabib

Top UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje isn’t happy with Dana White recently staying Conor McGregor could get another title shot next if he is to beat Donald Cerrone in January.

Gaethje (21-2) has won his last three UFC fights all by first-round knockout. Starting with a win over James Vick in August last year, “The Highlight” has since finished both Edson Barboza and Cerrone, taking him to fourth in the UFC lightweight rankings.

Talking recently to BT Sport, White said if McGregor is to get past Cerrone on January 18th, and current champ Khabib Nurmagomedov defends his title against Tony Ferguson in April, then a rematch between McGregor and Khabib could be next.
