Gaethje blasts ‘coward’ McGregor for calling out a bantamweight and the last man he beat

Conor McGregor recently announced the date for his UFC return. During a recent media tour in Moscow, “The Notorious” revealed he’ll be returning on January 18th in Las Vegas, against a still undetermined opponent.

In another report by ESPN, two fighters are lined up for McGregor to face: top-five lightweight contenders Justin Gaethje and Donald Cerrone. Both fighters already issued callouts to McGregor in the past, but it’s “The Highlight” who’s been more vocal.

In a recent tweet he posted, Gaethje once again challenged McGregor. This time, he volunteered himself as the opponent for the Irishman’s planned January return.
