Justin Gaethje has weighed in on Conor McGregor's Twitter spat with Dana White by calling him a "b*tch" after he supposedly turned down a fight against him in January.

McGregor took to social media once again after the UFC president called him out for sharing their DMs.

White said "It's one of the dirtiest things you can do" following last weekend's UFC 253.

On Twitter, 'The Notorious' wrote: "Code was broke when you lied about me turning down fights mate.

"I said Justin in May and you went and said I did not want to fight.

"It's not about Diego. Diego was a filler to get more fights in. Also you have been involved in Manny talks the legal letters are there. Stop lying."

McGregor returned to action in January when he destroyed Donald Cerrone at UFC 246.

"Not a good look lying on the boss. Anything to not look like a b*tch. You had me in January I was calling on you left and right and not a peep," he said.

"My manager asked if I wanted you after Tony but you know, f**k you. You never wanted it, you took the easy road kid."

Gaethje went onto beat Tony Ferguson in May to claim the UFC interim lightweight title.
