UFC 329 headliner Conor McGregor said he is not interested in Justin Gaethje's callout at 155 pounds, telling the lightweight champion to "join the queue."
170 pounds appears to be McGregor's target, with the former featherweight and lightweight champion saying he "fancies the triple crown" rather than another drop to lightweight.
Saturday's fight with Max Holloway is McGregor's first MMA bout since his 2021 TKO loss to Dustin Poirier, when he suffered a broken leg that sidelined him for years.
That comeback was already delayed once after McGregor withdrew from a planned 2024 fight with Michael Chandler because of a broken toe.
A move toward a third UFC title would likely point McGregor at welterweight champion Islam Makhachev, who is scheduled to defend the belt against Ian Machado Garry on Aug. 15.
