Conor McGregor immediately challenged Gage

Superstar Conor McGregor did not betray himself and turned to social networks to challenge another fighter who wins a spectacular duel in the UFC. In this case, Conor's target was Justin Gagey, who knocked out Dustin Poirier with a brutal high kick in one of the most anticipated fights of 2023. McGregor was supposed to face Michael Chandler at some point before the end of the year, but once again his attention was drawn to the successes of colleagues in the division.

"Justin I'm going to slap you left and right," was the Irishman's first tweet. “I'm the real badass, he (Geiji) can fights for pennies if he wants, but I want fighting spirit. I make the rules, I'm in the game to throw punches. Fuck Chandler, if you want the fight, say so,” McGregor later wrotes. Gage took advantage of the camera's attention and spoke condescendingly about Conor, pointing out that he usually faces fighters who have lost their last few fights. Justin also added that he once fought someone on "steroids."
