Frankie Edgar declares he could take a left “from the whole of Ireland” as he calls out Conor McGregor

Tell us what you really think Frankie.

The number one contender for Conor McGregor's UFC featherweight tittle hosted a Twitter Q&A overnight, in which he made pretty clear his views on the plans of the Notorious to move up to 155lb. The Dubliner's dream is to fight lightweight champ Rafael Dos Anjos and become the first man in UFC history to simultaneously hold belts in two divisions. Unsurprisingly Edgar, the next in line to face McGregor at 145lb, is none too happy with his weight-hopping plans, accusing the champion of being scared of him, "protected by the UFC" and worried about Edgar's aggressive style. He also predicted he would win in the fourth round of any future featherweight title bout. Warming to his task as he was asked more and more questions about McGregor, Edgar seemed to channel a little of his rival's trash-talking tendencies. In response to a question about McGregor's heavy fists he claimed he could take "a left from the whole country of Ireland", before saying he would take his rival's soul. Severe MMA are reporting that it was in fact Edgar's manager Ali Abdelaziz tweeting on the challenger's behalf, but it is hard to imagine he is doing it without his charge's knowledge. Not very Christmassy from Frankie, or his manager. It started out quite complimentary. https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679840948273074176 https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679841916498792449 Before he went on to make a "Mystic Mac" style prediction. https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679855071526400001 Edgar seems happy to fight McGregor pretty much anywhere. https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679840515018240000 https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679842970103762944 https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679839677843521538 https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679840320717103104 He didn't spare "The King's" feelings though. https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679839070487318529 https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679854058308423682 https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679855270982320128 https://twitter.com/FrankieEdgar/status/679855982751559680
