Justin Gaethje is not happy with Conor McGregor wanting to fight Michael Chandler next. UFC 268 saw Gaethje and Chandler put on a very exciting fight that had the Irishman inspired.
Michael Chandler expressed interest in facing Conor McGregor next. The former two-division UFC champion quickly expressed interest in facing the former Bellator champion.
Justin Gaethje wasn't exactly a big fan of the call-outs. He believes Conor McGregor wants his scraps, like at UFC 268, rather than face him.
“I don’t ever want to talk like this ‘cause I hate to do it,” Gaethje told TMZ. “Cowboy is someone I wanna hang around with for the rest of my life. I don’t want to disrespect him in any way. Chandler doesn’t deserve it. Ferguson doesn’t deserve it,” Gaethje said.
“But to me, it feels like we’re in grade school and Conor McGregor’s following me around, trying to pick up all my sloppy seconds. Is that not what’s happening? And I find it so hilarious.
“I hate to say it because, again, it’s disrespectful to the opponents that I beat. But I fought Cowboy, then he wants to fight Cowboy. I just beat up Chandler, now he wants to fight Chandler. He will never say my name. And Ferguson’s on the list now, too.
“I just find that comical. It just feels like he’s walking around, picking up my scraps.”
Make no mistake about it, UFC lightweight contender Justin Gaethje wants a fight with Conor McGregor. He wants the opportunity to ‘rearrange' his face.
“Do I want to make his face look like Tony Ferguson’s and Michael Chandler’s? Absolutely. Will he ever allow that? No. He has way too many smart people around this dude. And he’s not a dumbass.
“He might knock me out. Oliveira might knock me out. Poirier might knock me out. But they have to pray to God that they land that shot.”
Justin Gaethje has never been in a boring fight and Conor McGregor always brings a fun kickboxing style to his UFC fights. The two promise a very fun fight if it ever happens.
