McGregor, 33 years old, did not take the insult too well and immediately responded to Gamebred's tweets. This was Gamebred's attempt to keep McGregor's name in the minds of fighter fans.
Masvidal stated that he wants to be relevant, so he takes shots. But he isn't going to fight.
"The UFC offered him this fight. As you and I know, this could be one of the most important fights in UFC history. Why would he not want that money?
