Conor McGregor eventually involved Usman’s teammate Justin Gaethje by mocking ‘The Highlight’ with a photo from many years ago. Ali Abdelaziz responded by saying that ‘Notorious’ turned down a fight against Justin Gaethje when he had the chance. The interesting thing here is that there might be some truth to this statement.

It happened shortly after Eric Hosmer’s home run gave the Royals a 5-1 lead in the third inning of Game 3 of the ALDS....
