Conor McGregor has once again taken aim at Justin Gaethje, labelling the BMF champion ‘a b***’.<\/p>\n
McGregor was responding to a tweet which quoted Gaethje’s response to being asked if he would be interested in a BMF unification bout with Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n
Masvidal was the first man to win the symbolic belt when he defeated Nate Diaz.<\/p>\n
It was put back up for grabs following his retirement, Gaethje winning it when he knocked out Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n
Asked if he would defend it against Masvidal, Gaethje responded: ‘I don’t think he is ever coming back.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor has taken aim at Justin Gaethje , labelling the BMF champion ‘a b***”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
‘He look like he weighs 240 pounds. I fight at 155 pounds. I’m sure he would want to fight at 170.’<\/p>\n
McGregor took issue with this reasoning and replied: ‘the most un-bmf shout ever. He fights at 155. lol. B****. Get into that sauna, b****.’<\/p>\n
McGregor’s next fight is still yet to be confirmed and there has been talk of a showdown with Gaethje.<\/p>\n
However, Michael Chandler remains the most likely opponent following their time on The Ultimate Fighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gaethje said he had little interest in the idea of a fight with Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal<\/p>\n
