The current position of the former WSOF Justin Gaethje champion in the Lightweight UFC race is currently quite embarrassed. If normally, Gaethje must have been counted as “lost” when losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov last October at UFC 254. But with Khabib declaring gloves, Justin Gaethje raised hope to join the race.
In Gaethje's eyes, Dustin Poirier, Michael Chandler, or Charles Oliveira, would be the only obstacles that blocked the way he came to the championship match. So when he heard that Conor McGregor wanted to immediately fight Dustin Poirier to compete for Lightweight UFC belt, Justin Gaethje immediately stood still.
“I see the coach of Conor McGregor and those who dare to open their mouths saying that McGregor deserves to have the next stretching capacity, even in the rematch against Dustin Poirier, are all stupid,” Gaethje angry.
“Until now, Conor McGregor has received too many special treatments. Time and time! If he doesn't take advantage of the gifts given in hand, then it is his problem. UFC 257 is the floor of Conor, he is expected to win. It's a bastard. “
Affirming that “Conor is no longer worthy of continuing to compete”, Justin Gaethje is not bored if Conor McGregor wants to be upset with him because he “said the truth”.
“I can fight Conor, but I think after Conor shed his foot by Poirier's kicks, he didn't dare to confront me. I broke better than anyone at UFC.”
“If UFC arranged for Conor McGregor to compete with Dustin Poirier, I would leave this tournament, once and forever. Let one fighter ranked 6th on the rankings, once won a single match in the Lightweight class that was painted, selected the opponent, then I also came to UFC.”
