It has been just over two weeks when McGregor responded to a multitude of call outs following UFC on Fox event; when it seemed almost all the victors on the night attempted to instigate a future match-up against the newly crowned undisputed featherweight champion, regardless of weight.
McGregor responded by uploading the above picture to his Instagram account, with the caption:
“Line them up on their knees with their hands out. I want them to beg”
