What initially appeared to be a 'Your Mam' zinger actually developed into a claim from Stephens that he had met and taken pictures with the UFC featherweight champion's family.
"His mom knows who I am," Stephens told media members, via FloCombat.
"I have a picture with his mom and I met his dad so they know who I am.
"I've fought on his cards before and I've had highlight reel knockouts so he knows exactly who I am."
Stephens, 30, contended that the instantly viral jibe did not get to him and that he is not thinking about McGregor as he prepares for his clash with a former UFC lightweight champion.
"I didn't really pay attention to that," he said.
"Right after I left there, I went to training and got right to work and focused on Frankie Edgar. I'm not fighting Conor McGregor. I'm fighting Frankie Edgar, a true champion, a champion who's never backed down from anybody.
"He's tough at 135lbs, 145lbs and 155lbs and he's a nightmare match-up for a lot of guys. McNugget ran from him and I'm fighting Frankie. I'm fighting a true champion and that's exactly what I want.
"I'm fighting the real beast, one of the real guys who've put in work and that's the real money fight if you ask me."
