Justin Gaethje is coming off a TKO over Donald Cerrone, but it’s Conor McGregor who’s in line for the next lightweight title fight if he beats Cerrone later this month.
UFC president Dana White spoke with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto about what’s in store for 2020, including the status of the top contenders at 155. While some have scoffed at the idea of McGregor getting a title shot by beating Cerrone at welterweight, White defended the decision by citing McGregor’s past accomplishments, along with a dig at Gaethje by claiming he’s been turning down bouts.
“C’mon guys,” White said.
