Multiple fighters and MMA Pro’s has reacted on this situation, Fighters including Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Ariel Helwani, Dustin Poirier & Belal Muhammad has tweeted their reactions.
If Justin Gaethje becomes the Lightweight Champion tomorrow night, there’s a strong possibility that Conor McGregor challenges him for the title.
