Conor McGregor may think WWE stars are “pussies,” but that hasn’t stopped him from dropping killer promos and creating scenes that would fit right in with the world of sports entertainment.
From throwing water bottles at his UFC 202 presser to telling Eddie Alvarez to “suck my big Irish balls” during Thursday’s UFC 205 media circus, McGregor plays up each fight like he is getting ready for WrestleMania.
And their war of words, which has been non-stop since this fight was announced didn’t end there. Later on Thursday, McGregor and Alvarez met once again to trade barbs in an interview with ESPN.
It doesn’t get too heated early on with Alvarez making fun of McGregor’s mink coat and talking about his cardio issues, but right around the three-minute mark McGregor decided it was time to start dropping bombs…
“You’ve been over in Japan or some shit. You’ve been fighting bums all your life,” said an obviously agitated McGregor. “You’ve never been on this stage. You’ve never been against a guy like me, you’re an absolute bum. You’re a shitehawk. You get dropped in every fight. Look at your face. You’re the most beat up guy there is.”
There’s no way this fight makes it out of the first round, right?
