Former two-division UFC champ Conor McGregor has laughed off a recent claim from interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje.<\/p>\n

McGregor and Gaethje have been jawing back and forth for months now, but their exchanges have escalated ever since Gaethje captured the interim belt with a win over Tony Ferguson in the main event of the stacked UFC 249 card last weekend. McGregor has even stated<\/a> that he intends to fight Gaethje next, mentioning July as his desired timeframe.<\/p>\n

Gaethje, who has called McGregor out previously to no avail, finds it ironic that the Irishman finally seems interested in meeting him in the cage there that there’s a belt in play.<\/p>\n

He shared his thoughts on McGregor in a recent post to Instagram.<\/p>\n
