Conor McGregor rips WWE, John Cena, again
Conor McGregor: John Cena is a failed, dweeb, motherf@$%er
Last week UFC featherweight champion slammed the WWE, calling them a bunch of p***ies, while making exceptions for “dons” like Vince McMahon and The Rock. That didn’t go over well with pro wrestling fans, and led Rick Flair to accused ‘Notorious’ of verbal swagger jacking and talk vaguely of retribution.
This week during a UFC 202 media event, McGregor doubled down, making pointed reference to fan favorite WWE superstar John Cena.
“What’s the main guy? John Cena,” said McGregor, as transcribed by Marc Raimondi for MMA Fighting. “He’s 40. He’s 40 years of age. He’s walking around in a luminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about nobody can see him. We can see him right there. He’s a big fat, 40-year-old failed Mr. Olympia mother f***er.”
“I don’t know what to say to Ric Flair. This ain’t no gimmick. This is the real s***. I’ve gotta get in and fight a man for real. With no script, with no nothing. He was talking about bringing some other wrestler guys out to challenge me. Come bring it, then. This is the real shit over here. You know want to come over, we can fight no problem. A few of them are talking about the street and all. If they want to do that, come at me and see what happens.”
“Like I said, no disrespect to the dons of the game, the McMahons. [WWE CEO Vince McMahon] is a f***ing legend. They wrote Vinny off a few years ago when he dropped from the billions and then he rose back up and now he’s back in the billionaire club. What he’s been able to do with that bunch of dweebs he has over there at the moment has been phenomenal and I respect him for that. And then of course the OGs of the game, The Rock, Stone Cold, they’re cool mother f***ers. Even Ric Flair is a cool mother f***er.”
“I’m just speaking the truth. That new age of those guys are absolute dweebs. They just seem messed up in the head. I don’t know what it is. When I listen to them talk, when I listen to them carry themselves, they just don’t seem right in the head. That might have been a bit rudeness for me to say, but again: It ain’t trash talk, it’s truth talk.”
“I’ve got them all wrapped up on my little finger,” said McGregor. “The boxing game, the MMA game. Now I’ve got those wrestling dweebs in here as well. I’ve got the whole s*** locked up.”
