BMF belt holder and top UFC lightweight American Justin Gaethje reacted to the former double champion of the promotion, Irishman Conor McGregor's challenge.
I think he’s turned me down six times. Usually, you have to lose to fight him. So I’m not sure what’s going on. … I fight in MMA. I like to fight big fights. It sounds pretty exciting to me. I’m not going to fight someone on steroids. I’ve never taken steroids in my life and I don’t want to fight someone who is cheating. I probably shouldn’t even say that if I want the fight, but it’s the truth.
