Earlier this week, UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor said the following in an interview about WWE:
“I haven’t really thought about it. For the most part, those WWE guys are (expletive). To be honest, they’re messed up (expletive) if you ask me. Fair play to Brock, he got in a fight but at the end of the day he’s juiced up to the (expletive) eyeballs so how can I respect that?”
After a firestorm of criticism from wrestling fans, McGregor tweeted the following on Twitter:
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.

After seeing this, many wrestlers have come out and responded to McGregor’s comments:
@TheNotoriousMMA @WWE very funny little guy. Why don’t you get your head out of Dana White’s ass

This all came about when a reporter asked McGregor if he ever saw a future in WWE. Many have sighted that Conor has talked about being a fan of WWE as a kid and has made public references to wrestling in past interviews.
Editor’s Note: I don’t get why everyone gets so bent out of shape when non-wrestling guys talk about something they don’t really have too much knowledge on. Overall, I’m not too concerned about it.
