Rafael Fiziev has taken aim at Justin Gaethje with a derogatory post involving Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA) is ready to re-enter the Octagon after having his nose rebuilt following his loss to Charles Oliveira (33-8 MMA) at UFC 274 in May of this year. A possible opponent was thought to be Conor McGrego<\/a>r (22-6).<\/p>\n

The ‘Highlight’ expressed concern about accepting a fight with the Irishman as he wanted\u00a0 \u201cfair competition\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking with ‘MMA Fighting<\/a>‘ Gaethje said:<\/p>\n

\u201cSounds to me like he\u2019s (McGregor) off taking steroids right now, he\u2019s not been drug tested by USADA in quite some time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing the Arizona native said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he\u2019s on steroids, then give me steroids and let\u2019s go. I have never taken performance-enhancing drugs and I do not want to fight people who take performance-enhancing drugs.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Concluding Gaethje said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I break my leg, I\u2019m not taking steroids to heal my legs. He had the chance, to fight me, he didn\u2019t fight me he picked cowboy, so yeah, I mean whatever, who cares.”<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Ataman’ (12-1 MMA) is responding to Justin Gaethje’s call for ‘fair competition’ with regards to McGregor. Fiziev, who is currently ranked number 7 at lightweight, challenged ‘The Highlight’ to a fight.<\/p>\n

Fiziev who had a similar nose surgery as Gaethje said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to know. We need to find out who is the nose job (king), who is better now. But he (Gaethje) still says nothing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rafael also shared on ‘Twitter’ the following comment:<\/p>\n

“USADA tested me 6 times this year, I\u2019m available for fair competition bro @Justin_Gaetje unless you worried my skills will make it unfair.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Most recently Fiziev took to ‘Twitter’ with a rather seductive video from a yacht with the caption:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/rafaelfiziev\/status\/1578242625693716480<\/p>\n

“BREAKING: video of @Justin_Gaethje negotiating his next fight with Conor on his boat!”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So far, Gaethje has not responded to the relentless callouts from Rafael Fiziev.<\/p>\n

Would you like to see a Gaethje vs Fiziev battle in the near future?<\/p>\n
