McGregor on a war-path
If the UFC's top featherweight fighters weren't listening to Conor McGregor before, they definitely are now.
The heavily-hyped Irish featherweight came into FOX Sports shortly after decimating Max Holloway at UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs Sonnen and proceeded to put the elite fighters of the 145lbs weight class on blast.
"The Notorious" tweeted his thoughts on the UFC's 145lbs Top Ten and received on outpouring of support from fans.
UFC lightweight Diego Sanchez, however, was less than pleased with McGregor's comments. Thus, a new beef was born.

Sanchez's response did nothing but add fuel to the Irishmen's fire, as Conor responded to Diego's slight at him by calling him out in every way, shape and form.

This is not McGregor's first time going after other fighters, as his fearless and blunt views of his fellow featherweight's have resulted in more than a few beefs accumulated in his UFC career thus far, namely Twitter feuds with Cub Swanson and Dustin Poirier.
Will Conor get his fight with a ranked featherweight? Only time will tell, but one thing we can count on is that "The Notorious" won't be afraid to ask for it.
