Conor McGregor has developed a reputation for speaking his mind in recent years with his mouth his biggest weapon used in the build up to a brawl.
However, the 28-year-old, who is scheduled to fight Nate Diaz at UFC 202, gave his views on the stars of WWE and had a negative stance on the performers. Although he admitted he maintains respect for some of the top names in the company, for the most part he is not a fan of the hard work the superstars give.
McGregor not a fan of WWE
Wrestling as a whole has climbed the stereotype that has hindered its growth for decades with the belief that it is "fake" often being a stumbling block where UFC is currently thriving.
McGregor who prides himself on being a legitimate fighter has been linked with a move to the WWE even as early as this year when his fight with Nate Diaz was postponed. Now it seems that the wrestling promotion is the last place on the Irishman's mind and stepping into the squared circle with those "P*****s" is likely to never happen.
He said on the likelihood of him ever working with the company "I haven’t really thought about it" he continued "For the most part, those WWE guys are p*****s."
The words from the loudmouth fighter will sting now more than ever as following the Brock Lesnar 'loan' to the MMA promotion it seemed a new wave of fans now understood just how much the wrestler's bodies go through day-in-day-out. The man who has earned the nickname of Notorious has certainly stayed true to this and his comments were not finished.
On Brock Lesnar
The Beast who recently returned to WWE television following his victory over Mark Hunt was expected to have 'bridged the gap' between WWE and UFC.
However the 39-year-old caused outrage when he tested positive for what is believed to be an estrogen blocker will calls for his win over the Samoan to be stricken from the records.
McGregor maintains little respect for the veteran over his actions as but said "fair play" to him for being willing to fight but said "at the end of the day" he was "juiced up to the eyeballs" so how could he "respect that?"
Respect for WWE
Not all was gloom for wrestling fans as the Irishman does maintain respect for some WWE officials.
The fighter who maintains a 19-3 win rate in UFC said he respects the McMahon family extending to Triple H and also Hollywood icon The Rock.
It seems that ESPN's 2015 fighter of the year respects the symbol of money and status based off his comments and with him earning close to $3 million dollars or even more last year that is understandable.
