“Get Your Head Out of Dana White’s A**” -Kurt Angle & Ric Flair Bashed Conor McGregor for His WWE Insinuation Back in 2016

UFC star Conor McGregor is known for his trash-talking as well as for the controversies outside of the octagon. Back in the day, the fighter took a dig at an extremely popular WWE wrestler, Brock Lesnar. In addition to this, McGregor also said that he would “I’d slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday’s.”

His comments angered not just the fans but also the wrestlers. One such person was Ric Flair. As a result, he hit right back at Conor McGregor. Flair had tweeted, “Coming from a guy who built a career copying my persona, I expected the type of class we get from Ronda or Anderson.”

The wrestler had also said, “After Diaz finishes you again, I dare you to try guys like Dolph, Brock, or Fit.”

Apart from Ric Flair, Kurt Angle too called out McGregor for his comments. He wrote, “very funny little guy. Why don’t you get your head out of Dana White’s a**”.

MVP too wasn’t happy with McGregor’s comments. Like Flair, he too brought UFC fighter Diaz into the picture. After all, ‘The Notorious’ was coming off a recent loss against him.

Needless to say, people were not happy with Conor McGregor bashing the wrestling promotion. Post this, the Irish fighter won the second fight against Diaz via a unanimous decision.

Should Conor McGregor join WWE?

While McGregor does not seem interested in joining the wrestling promotion, many feel that his personality is just about right for it. However, the athlete does not wrestle, and hence, sticking to MMA seems like a good choice. After all, despite waiting on the sidelines and recovering from his leg injury, he has still been one of the most popular fighters.
