The legendary Frankie Edgar showed very good sportsmanship, as usual, congratulating his opponent, then adding a message for his haters:
"Hats off to the Korean Zombie on a great performance. Why do the negative comments always get to you the most? Thanks for the love from most of you out there. To the others, I’m sure it won’t be your last shitty comment to dish out. Let’s not give power to these people. Thanks for the love to the real ones out there!"
The Notorious comes to the rescue
Conor McGregor, who will be making a comeback on January 18, in the UFC 246's main event, responded to Frankie Edgar's tweet about haters with a reminder that the American MMA artist is and will always be a legend in the sport:
"Remember what we say during the Frankie shootings! Stay covered and keep shooting !! Forever a legend of this game #FrankieBaby"
