Former UFC lightweight Tony Ferguson stated that at one point Conor McGregor refused to fight him.

“If it comes down to a fight with McGregor, then yes, I would agree and hire everyone I worked with before when we trained for him [in 2017]. I have a complete dossier on how Conor trained, what he did, and why he did it at that time. And the fight against me scared McGregor’s team. They didn’t want to have anything to do with me.”
