Gaethje rebukes reporter over neck mark ahead of UFC 324

During fight week for UFC 324, Justin Gaethje faced repeated questions about a visible mark on his neck that reportedly sparked online claims of a staph infection.

Gaethje has maintained the spot is a healing ingrown hair and denied those infection reports.

New images during the week allegedly showed a small covering over the area, which prompted further speculation that he might face medical clearance issues.

In a media interview he snapped at a reporter who raised the subject, reportedly saying, "What's wrong with you?" and referencing privacy rules.

The Nevada commission is said to have cleared him and he made weight, with the main event against Paddy Pimblett still scheduled to proceed.
