Conor McGregor Respects Ric Flair, Rips John Cena
Conor McGregor Respects Ric Flair, Rips John Cena
UFC superstar Conor McGregor continued his onslaught of WWE stars in his latest media appearance.
One week ahead of his UFC 202 rematch with Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor took part in a media day at the UFC Gym in Las Vegas to promote next Saturday's event taking place at the T-Mobile Arena.
While much of the talk focused on UFC 202 and Nate Diaz, McGregor was asked about the comments he made last week in regards to the WWE.
Anyone thinking that McGregor would back down from the criticism he dished out seven days should've thought twice. The Irishman this time took things to a whole new level by taking particular aim at one of their main stars, John Cena.
"What's the main guy? John Cena," McGregor said. "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 mother f*****."

Pro-wrestling legend Ric Flair was one of the main WWE personalities to stick his neck out last week and question McGregor's comments. Flair accused McGregor of stealing his gimmick which unsurprisingly didn't sit well with the Irishman.
"I don't know what to say to Ric Flair," McGregor 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. You know 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."
Just like last week, McGregor spared some of the older generation of WWE stars from his criticism. The likes of the McMahons, The Rock and Steve Austin were shown respect by the Irishman.
"Like I said, no disrespect to the dons of the game, the McMahons, he [Vince McMahon] is a f*cking legend," McGregor said. "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 cool mother f*ckers. Even Ric Flair is a cool mother f*****."
