This article delves into the fiery exchange between the two fighters and the possible implications for their future showdown.<\/p>\n<h2>McGregor Claims <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/gaethje-reacts-to-mcgregors-callout-after-ufc-291-victory\/\">BMF<\/a> Title, Calls Out Gaethje<\/h2>\n<p>After Justin Gaethje&#8217;s spectacular head-kick KO victory over Dustin Poirier at UFC 291, Conor McGregor wasted no time in claiming that he could knock out Gaethje with a single shot and asserted that he was the true BMF (Baddest Motherf**ker) champion, not Gaethje or Poirier.<\/p>\n<h2>Masvidal&#8217;s Fiery Response<\/h2>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Jorge Masvidal, a longtime teammate and friend of Dustin Poirier, came to the defense of his comrade and Gaethje. Taking to social media, Masvidal advised McGregor to take a drug test before criticizing other fighters while he remains unqualified to fight. In a tweet aimed at Conor McGregor, Masvidal wrote, &#8220;@TheNotoriousMMA shut ur mouth you pissing hot midget ur not cleared to fight. Talking about fighters going thru the grind and process. I bet you never say my name you scared (chicken).&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>History of Rivalry<\/h2>\n<p>The heated exchange between Masvidal and McGregor is not entirely unexpected, as the two fighters have engaged in verbal jabs at each other in the past. Many had speculated that a potential clash in the Octagon between &#8216;Gamebred&#8217; and &#8216;Notorious&#8217; could materialize due to their ongoing feud.<\/p>\n<h2>McGregor&#8217;s Silence and Current Career Status<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, Conor McGregor had not responded to Jorge Masvidal&#8217;s tweet, leaving fans curious about his reaction. Presently, McGregor is not a part of the USADA  testing pool but is actively involved in coaching TUF 31 alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/nate-diaz\/nate-diaz-believes-ufc-never-intended-to-make-conor-mcgregor-vs-michael-chandler-they-had-nothing-to-entertain-anybody\/\">Michael Chandler<\/a>. Despite hopes of a fight later in the year, the likelihood of it happening remains uncertain, given McGregor&#8217;s absence from the USADA testing pool. His last bout was back in July 2021, where he suffered a leg injury during his trilogy match against Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jorge Masvidal Responds Strongly to Conor McGregor&#8216;s Criticisms Post UFC 291 @TheNotoriousMMA shut ur mouth you pissing hot midget ur not cleared to fight.
