Rafael dos Anjos' beef with Conor McGregor

At the UFC Go Big press conference in 2015, Conor McGregor went after Rafael dos Anjos, with 'The Notorious' using his famous "red panty night" line. The Brazilian couldn't come up with a definitive come-back and even seemed to acknowledge the Irishman's wit. Here's what McGregor said:

"When you sign to fight me, it's a celebration. You ring back home, you ring your wife: 'Baby, we done it. We're rich, baby. Conor McGregor made us rich. Break out the red panties. We're rich, baby."

Rafael dos Anjos was the lightweight champion when Conor McGregor won his first UFC title at featherweight. After McGregor's infamous win at UFC 194, the former featherweight champion decided to move up a weight class and go after the lightweight title. McGregor didn't hold back at the UFC 196 press conference, throwing scathing insults at dos Anjos.

The bout, however, never came to fruition as dos Anjos had to pull out of the bout due to an ankle injury. McGregor fought Nate Diaz instead at UFC 196 and had his first promotional loss via submission at the hands of the Stockton native.

It seems like the beef between dos Anjos and McGregor isn't over, as the two were seen trading insults backstage at UFC 264.

The former Brazilian champ said the following after his altercation:

"Whenever he wants, wherever, we can fight here. I don't f*****g care. [He's] trying to sneak behind me and size me up. F**k you, man."
