Conor McGregor seems like a perfect fit for the wild world of the WWE.
The charisma. The style. The athleticism. Oh, and don't forget the promos McGregor uses to build up his fights. He may not be a pro wrestler, but he talks better than almost all of them.
McGregor has been linked (incorrectly) with a move to WWE in the past, and he has done little to put out the flames.
Until today, that is.
On Friday's UFC 202 conference call, McGregor was asked if he would ever consider a move to pro wrestling. And as he's often known to do, McGregor sent social media into a tizzy with an answer that left little to the imagination.
"For the most part, those WWE guys are pussies, to be honest. They're messed up p*ssies, if you ask me. Fair play to Brock, he got in and fought," McGregor said. "But at the end of the day he was juiced up to the fucking eye balls. So how can I respect that? And then what's the other guy? The other guy hasn't fought yet, so I don't know about him yet."
The "other guy" McGregor is referring to is almost certainly CM Punk, the former WWE star who, after signing with the UFC nearly two years ago, is finally making his Octagon debut next month.
McGregor didn't mince words on a potential move to pro wrestling, but he did note his respect for several prominent current and former members of that entertainment industry, including the most powerful man in the business
"The McMahons? They're dons," he said. "Triple H is a don. The Rock is a don. But the rest of them are pussies."
