VanZant uploaded a pre-training picture to her 3.2 million Instagram followers, with the caption: "You can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you cannot choose both."
Eagle-eyed fans in the comments saw McGregor's cheeky reply saying: "I can", in reference to his extravagant lifestyle in recent years as one of the worlds wealthiest athletes.
McGregor's reply sent fans wild with general hate for McGregor. One said: "Is that why fell asleep against Dustin? You chose comfort."
Another replied: "That’s fitting to see you in Paige’s comments, two washed up fighters."
VanZant was asked by a fan in a Q&A on her Instagram story today if she had seen McGregor's comment, to which she replied that she hadn't.
Despite her rapid rise, VanZant's name often proceeded her and her UFC career trickled out, although she made decent money and became a well known name in the sport.
VanZant has become wealthy from her mega-money contract with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where she's headlined two pay-per-view shows already, losing both.
