GettyThe way Justin Gaethje sees it, Conor McGregor should either fight, or the UFC should remove him from the lightweight rankings. I don't want to fight guys ranked behind me. If it's not him, there's not an open fight right now. I'd be cool with that, too, and we can move on from there.”McGregor has not fought since UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted him in the fourth round of their UFC 229 battle, which took place in October. Gaethje, who was the World Series of Fighting lightweight champion before he joined the UFC, is hopeful that he can get matched up against McGregor.
