Conor McGregor has a lot of thoughts on the lightweight division after UFC 249, and he expressed them Monday.

McGregor’s tangent on Twitter hit on a number of different topics and fighters, but off the top he made his intentions to face Gaethje next quite clear, saying he would get the fight before Gaethje gets a unifier with champion Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC).
