UFC 249: Cor McGregor claims he will “butcher” Justin Gaethje in a fight

Cor McGregor took to Twitter and wrote a long mess which has seemingly thrilled UFC fanbase. Cor McGregor registered a stunning comeback against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 and became first UFC fighter to secure kckout victories across three weight classes (145 lbs, 155 lbs, 170 lbs). However, ' torious' later said that he would make a return in lightweight division. It appears Cor McGregor has found his next opponent, with his sights set on Justin Gaethje as he vows to defeat him inside octagon.

Despite being called out by Cor McGregor, Justin Gaethje may t accept challenge since he has alrey earned an opportunity to face Khabib Nurmagomedov for lightweight title. Khabib stands undefeated so far and Justin Gaethje could become first man to leave a mark on Khabib's record, which could also mean that Cor McGregor may t get an opportunity to face ‘ Highlight’. However, in near future, Cor McGregor and Justin Gaethje could potentially come face to face inside octagon as Dana White has been kwn to set up blockbuster clashes in main events.
