This is ... new.

We've seen all types of fighter call-outs over the years but Frankie Edgar has had to get rather creative as all hope of a shot at Conor McGregor's UFC featherweight title seem to be drifting away. McGregor, who lost on his debut at welterweight at Saturday night's UFC 196, has hinted at a desire to take on Jose Aldo next in a rematch of their brief UFC 194 meeting. Coach John Kavanagh has echoed those sentiments, meaning the fall guy in all of this seems to be Edgar, who has grown increasingly frustrated at missing out. Edgar is clutching at straws and, on Wednesday, 'The Answer' posted a bizarre video to Twitter with some lyrics pointed in the direction of his Irish rival.
One, Two, Frankie's coming for you Three, Four, You better guard your jaw Five, Six, Conor doesn't want this Seven, Eight, July 9th is the date Nine, ten, Iron Army until the end
Admirable persistence? Pure desperation? We'll let you be the judge.
