Conor McGregor only took 13 seconds to overthrow Jose Aldo’s 10-year reign atop the featherweight division but Frankie Edgar still sees the Irishman as a scared goat.
Edgar, the former UFC light heavyweight champion who knocked out Chad Mendes a day before McGregor’s stunning win, took to Instagram to challenge the new featherweight champion.

“Do I make you nervous? You had a choice in the summer. Me or Chad, and you picked Chad,” Edgar posted on Instagram Saturday, Manila time. “Now you’re looking to fight someone else again.”
“If you’re scared get a dog bro, if not let’s make this happen.”
McGregor has expressed his interest to move to the lightweight division, according to a report by Bloody Elbow, to take on the winner between Rafael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone.
