Actress Meryl Streep irked the entire MMA world during her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes when she referred to our beloved sport of mixed martial arts as “not the arts” which was poorly thought out and just a pretty foolish thing to say.
However, as many others have pointed out at least she referred to it properly as ‘mixed martial arts’ and didn’t call it ‘cage fighting’ or even the dreaded ‘human cockfighting’ term of yesteryear.
In this hilarious animated video we see what Conor McGregor himself would have to say to Meryl Streep had he been in attendance that night. The clip includes real audio from both Streep’s speech as well as the audio from one of Conor’s press conferences where he says “You’ll do nothin!”
In the animation Conor then hilariously throws his iconic monster energy can at Streep just like he threw it at the Diaz crew at the 202 press conference.
This funny clip also includes audio from color commentator Joe Rogan as well as an appearance of Sylvester Stallone who comes to Streep’s aid.
All in all though, Streep’s comments were silly and ill thought out but pretty mild compared to what many other celebrities have said in the past regarding the sport of MMA.
