It took this UFC fighter a whole year to think of a comeback to Conor McGregor slagging him

Who is he though?

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016, Conor McGregor attended a press conference with a host of other fighters ahead of UFC 205.

At one point, he was interrupted by a fighter called Jeremy Stephens, who claimed he could give McGregor the โ€˜hardest fight out of anybody on stageโ€™.

When he was finished, McGregor turned around and said:

Who the f**k is that guy?

The quip has become one of McGregorโ€™s best-known lines, and has haunted Stephens ever sinceโ€ฆ but one year on, heโ€™s finally gotten his own back. Kind of.

Thatโ€™s Jeremy there, posing with McGregorโ€™s mam, Margaret. Please note the hashtag:

However, it appears to be too little too late.

A year to come back with a โ€˜yer maโ€™ joke? Ah Jeremy. You tried.

    Arsneal are a spent force and wegner is not helping, I donโ€™t belive for one second that if he had the money he would not spend it something is not right about the boardroom and stan kronke is the problem In my opinion

    I agree with most of your comments except I wouldnโ€™t write off Arsenal just yet. Though they have flattered to deceive in recent years they still have some quality players and a proven manager. I also question who really holds the purse strings at the Emirates. Benitez was mad to take the job at Chelsea, it will and does look foolish to take on a job where to get it to the chairmans liking will take patience and time. He wants a Barcelona style set up yet most of their players are from their academy, something that took years to achieve, he needs a settled manager and give them time. I was always a fan of Gibson when at United but he did in missing in games, but as he matures he could get better and better.

    Thanks for the response Cathal. On the one hand I donโ€™t want to be kneejerk in suggesting Wenger should go, but itโ€™s hard to see how this cycle can be broken after do many years of gallant failure.

    Theyโ€™ll probably win the league now after all that!

    Arsenal have to make a good executive decision and get rid of Wenger. Living in the shadow of the Emirates and knowing many Arsenal fans, the feeling among supporters is that he canโ€™t seem to take them any further as a manager. They were atrocious on Saturday.
