Coach Mark Henry: McGregor ‘ducked’ Frankie Edgar ‘three times’ in the past

Yesterday, UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor claimed that he offered to fight Frankie Edgar on short notice at next week’s UFC 222 pay-per-view, and it’s caused quite the stir on social media.

Edgar’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, called McGregor a ‘liar’ and a ‘prostitute’, claiming that ‘The Notorious’ has never had any interest in throwing down with ‘The Answer’.

Abdelaziz was backed up by Edgar’s long-time striking coach Mark Henry, who has developed somewhat of a feud with McGregor since the Irishman burst onto the scene in 2015.
