Jorge Masvidal defended the new BMF champion against 'pissing hot' Conor McGregor
At press time McGregor had not yet replied to the tweet, but knowing him, he will.
Some of his previous tweets called out Gaethje who he promised to knockout, "I KO him one shot. Guarantee it," he tweeted.
Gaethje won the BMF title after an insane head kick KO of Dustin Poirier in the main event at UFC 291 on Satruday and it prompted several arguments amongst many of the UFC's lightweight division including a row between Michael Chandler and Poirier after Chandler called out Gaethje and indicated he'd be his first real test.
It's nice to see the OG BMF is sticking up for the new BMF ... even though we know he can fight for himself.
