Gatji's manager: 'McGregor has turned down a fight with Justin at least five times'

The manager of former UFC interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, Ali Abdel-Aziz, claims that the promotion's top star Conor McGregor has repeatedly turned down offers to fight his client.

"Let's think realistically. McGregor will never accept this fight. He's been offered it at least five times. He never wanted anything to do with Justin. Conor said the reason he didn't want to take this fight was because of the unflattering things Gatji said about him on social media. McGregor did not want to lose to a fighter from our team, I believe," - quotes Abdel-Aziz MMA Fighting.

Recall that Gatji's last fight was in April, losing by knockout to Max Holloway.
