Conor McGregor may have dismissed Justin Gaethje's latest callout, but the former two-division champion has a much bigger goal on his mind.
Ahead of his long-awaited return at UFC 329, McGregor revealed that he is chasing something no fighter has achieved in UFC history – a championship in a third weight class.
Rather than focusing on potential challengers, McGregor made it clear that his ambitions stretch far beyond another grudge fight, reigniting discussion over what could await him if he successfully returns to the Octagon.
Addressing Gaethje's desire to punch him in the face, McGregor brushed aside the challenge before outlining what he believes should come next in his career.
"Yeah, join the queue. He has the lightweight belt, fair play to him. But Holloway put him face down."
