It’s Conor Mcgregor versus WWE this time!

Conor McGregor kicked a hornet’s nest on Friday. Speaking with the media on a conference call to promote UFC 202, the pay-per-view kingpin was asked if he had any interest in making the jump to professional wrestling in the WWE.

See his response here:

McGregor later clarified that he meant he could “slap the head off” the WWE roster. A number of current and former WWE stars, from Roman Reigns to Kurt Angle, called out McGregor for his comments, but the strongest response of all came from Hall of Famer Ric Flair. On his Twitter account, Ric says:

“Coming from a guy who built a career copying my persona, I expected the type of class we get from Ronda or Anderson.”

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

Oh you’re welcome for your gimmick”

“If anyone doubts whether or not Doloh could tie Conor in a knot, do yourself a favor and Google his accomplishments”
