UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor made a lengthy statement on his social media today regarding a comeback, and that’s all it took for the UFC Star to be the talk of the town.
Taking to his Instagram, McGregor stated, “I am fighting again. Period.
I am the best at this.
I put my name forward to step in at UFC 222 to face Frankie Edgar when Max Holloway pulled out, but I was told there wasn’t enough time to generate the money that the UFC would need.
I was excited about bouncing in last minute and taking out the final featherweight, without all the rest of the stuff that comes with this game.
Please respect the insane amount of work outside the fight game that I have put in.
On top of the fighting.
I am here.
It is on them to come and get me. Because I am here.
Yours sincerely,
The Champ Champ™”
This prompted Frankie Edgar’s manager to talk smack about the Irish Mega star to ESPN, stating, “He’s full a shit. He’s a liar. He should have fought Frankie two years ago.”
And now, former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar is taking up with his manager, and issued the following statement in response to Conor McGregor.
