McGregor comments on WWE at the 17:30 mark
During Friday’s UFC 202 media conference call, Conor McGregor trashed WWE Superstars, saying most of them are messed up p*ssies. He respected that Brock Lesnar got back in the Octagon, but slammed him for being “juiced up to the eyeballs.” He respects The McMahons, Triple H and The Rock, but “the rest of them are “f*cking p*ssies.”
As you can imagine, McGregor was met with a strong backlash on social media from WWE’s rabid fanbase. “The Notorious” clarified that he wasn’t insulting WWE fans, but doubled down on his position regarding WWE Superstars.
I didn't mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans. What I meant to say was that I'd slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday's.
