Ahead of his UFC 202 showdown with Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor might not be as media-accessible as he has been in the past, but when he does speak, people listen.
Among the many quote-worthy notes to come out of “The Notorious” one during the official UFC 202 media call on Friday, which also featured Nate Diaz, the reigning UFC 145-pound champion took a couple of shots at Brock Lesnar and the WWE.
“For the most part those WWE guys are p*ssies,” said McGregor during the call. “They’re messed up p*ssies, if you ask me.”
McGregor would go on to give Brock Lesnar credit for beating Mark Hunt at UFC 200, but also spoke of him being “juiced up to his eyeballs” in doing so.
“How can I respect that?” said McGregor of Lesnar, who tested positive in both an out-of-competition test in late June before his UFC 200 fight, as well as an in-competition test administered the day of his actual bout with Hunt.
McGregor wouldn’t commit to an opinion on former WWE Superstar CM Punk, who makes his official Octagon debut at UFC 203 against Mickey Gall in September, however he did mention liking The McMahon’s, Triple H and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson before sharing his belief that “the rest of [the WWE guys] are f*cking p*ssies.”
