Conor McGregor gets cornered On Twitter by WWE superstars
As mentioned, Conor McGregor had made some controversial statements about WWE superstars during the UFC 202 conference call. Due to the huge reaction that he was getting, McGregor went on to elaborate his view with the following tweet.
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.

Coming from a guy who built a career copying my persona, I expected the type of class we get from Ronda or Anderson. pic.twitter.com/iVoC0Xva5g

After Diaz finishes you again, I dare you to try guys like Dolph, Brock, or Fit.

Never show a Jack Russell a mirror. It thinks it's a majestic Irish Wolfhound. Really, just an annoying wee yapper trying to sell tickets.
