Conor McGregor recently spoke out about WWE stars, saying apart from a handful of "dons", they're all "pussies". He then followed up by saying he'd slap the head off the entire WWE roster, and it got numerous responses from the pro-wrestling stars.
In a recent UFC 202 media day appearance, McGregor continued to take more shots at them.
"These WWE guys, they're not right in the head, some of them," McGregor said. "The new age (wrestlers) are dweebs. Absolute dweebs."
"The old school guys are legends. Ric Flair is a legend, the McMahons of course, dons," he said. "What's the main guy? John Cena. He's 40. He's 40 years of age. He's walking around in a luminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about nobody can see him."
"We can see him right there. He's a big, fat, 40-year-old failed Mr. Olympia motherf--er."
McGregor also went on to talk about some of the comments from the pro-wrestlers, including Ric Flair, who said "you're welcome for your gimmick".
"I don't know what to say to Ric Flair," he said. "This ain't no gimmick. This is the real sh*t. I've gotta get in and fight a man for real. With no script, with no nothing. He was talking about bringing some other wrestler guys out to challenge me. Come bring it, then. This is the real shit over here. Do you want to come over? We can fight no problem. A few of them are talking about the street and all. If they want to do that, come at me and see what happens."
"Like I said, no disrespect to the dons of the game, the McMahons," McGregor said. "Vinny Mac is a f*cking legend. They wrote Vinny off a few years ago when he dropped from the billions and then he rose back up and now he's back in the billionaire club. What he's been able to do with that bunch of dweebs he has over there at the moment has been phenomenal and I respect him for that. And then of course the OGs of the game, The Rock, Stone Cold, they're all cool motherf---ers. Even Ric Flair is a cool motherf---er."
"I'm just speaking the truth. That new age, those guys are absolute dweebs. They just seem messed up in the head. I don't know what it is. When I listen to them talk, when I listen to them carry themselves, they just don''t seem right in the head."
Intentional or not, McGregor is doing a good job setting up another potential revenue source with a possible WWE appearance down the road.
