It appears that Conor McGregor is still very much relevant in the world of mixed martial arts, as top-five UFC lightweight contender Justin Gaethje recently called out the former featherweight and lightweight champion on social media.
Gaethje, who last fought at UFC on ESPN 2 where he knocked out Brazilian striker Edson Barboza in the first round, hinted that ‘The Notorious’ had been offered a fight with him.
“F-ck your money. You in it or not @TheNotoriousMMA,” Gaethje tweeted to McGregor last week.
McGregor didn’t respond, so Gaethje’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, tried to bait the Irishman into accepting the match-up by posting a provocative tweet of his own.
