Rarely a day goes by without Conor McGregor causing controversy and now he’s done it again by taking on the entire WWE.
UFC World Champion Conor blasted Brock Lesnar, who fought and won at UFC 200 but since tested positive for a banned substance and claimed most WWE stars are “p*****s”.
Pointing out that he respects legends such as the McMahons, Triple H and The Rock, Conor said: “I haven’t really thought about [fighting in the WWE]. For the most part, those WWE guys are p*****s. They’re messed up p*****s if you ask me.”
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.

“I mean fair play to Brock, he got in and fought [at UFC 200] … but at the end of the day he’s juiced up to the eyeballs … so how can I respect that?”, he added.
Conor made his comments during a conference call on Friday about the upcoming UFC 202 and after WWE fans reacted, he decided to simply taunt them even more.
On Sunday he tweeted: “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.”
Conor is currently preparing for his rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 202.
