Conor McGregor: UFC champ launches sensational attack on Brock Lesnar and WWE, calling them ‘messed up p*****s’

WWE's biggest star Lesnar stepped back inside the Octagon last month to defeat Mark Hunt but has since tested positive for a banned substance

UFC champ Conor McGregor has blasted WWE wrestlers, calling them "messed up p*****s" – but refused to rule out a bout in the squared circle at some point.

WWE's biggest star Brock Lesnar stepped back inside the Octagon last month to defeat Mark Hunt but has since tested positive for a banned substance.

The Irishman McGregor, who is preparing for his rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 202, said that he has no respect for Lesnar because he was "juiced up to the f****** eye balls", but did add that there are some "dons" in the wrestling world, notably owner Vince McMahon, vice-president Triple H and grappler-turned-Hollywood A-Lister The Rock.

McGregor said: "For the most part, those WWE guys are p*****s, to be honest.

"They're messed up p*****s, if you ask me. Fair play to Brock (Lesnar), he got in and fought, but at the end of the day he was juiced up to the f****** eye balls, so how can I respect that?"

The UFC featherweight champ added: "I mean, there are some dons in that wrestling game. The McMahon’s? They’re dons. Triple H is a don, The Rock is a don, but the rest of them are f****** p******."

“I happen to enjoy it (WWE), but that’s a little more show business. This is the fight business.”

McGregor will again jump up two weight classes to welterweight as he attempts to avenge his second-round stoppage defeat by Diaz at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on August 20.
