What’s it like to meet UFC megastar Conor McGregor? A larger-than-life personality, the Irishman is renowned for his charisma, sharp wit, and magnetic presence in the world of combat sports. However, since 2021, ‘The Notorious’ has been on an extended hiatus, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his return to the Octagon.

Despite his break from competition, McGregor remains active in the public eye. Recently, he made headlines after attending Donald Trump’s 47th presidential inauguration on Capitol Hill. Photos of the Dubliner at the event quickly surfaced, showing him mingling with a barrage of American athletes. Among them were Jake Paul and Logan Paul, with whom McGregor shared lighthearted moments, adding to the intrigue surrounding his next move.

During this time, comedian and Joe Rogan’s friend, Theo Von, also linked up with the group on the bus ride to the event. Today, he shared his experience meeting McGregor on his YouTube channel in video #557. Reflecting on the encounter. Von described it saying, “It was almost like Notre Dame—if he were the guy with the little helmet or whatever. But he was twice as bad as that little mascot guy they had. He had legs as strong as the moors. You know, he had a voraciousness, and his aura was at about 6,000, 7,000, 8,000. I’m not even sure what the exchange rate of that is, but I was like, holy shit. The dude is the fucking Karate Kid of Ireland. That’s the most violent, talented leprechaun they ever made right there. He’s savage.”

McGregor’s commanding presence left a lasting impression on everyone, including the Paul brothers. The UFC superstar recently hinted at a potential return to action against Logan Paul, fueling excitement among fans. However, McGregor’s relationship with former UFC star Nate Diaz remains tense. Taking to X, Diaz didn’t hold back, mocking McGregor and the Paul brothers for their appearance at the event. He wrote, “Sit where you’re told at the big Inauguration Day, you f***ing dorks.” However, it was just a humble start from the ‘Stockton’ native.

Nate Diaz slams “Paul Sisters” after Conor McGregor encounter

Nate Diaz has joined the growing chorus of critics fed up with Conor McGregor’s ongoing back-and-forth with YouTuber-turned-boxers Jake Paul and Logan Paul. The Paul brothers often provoke McGregor in hopes of landing a lucrative fight, while the Irishman frequently fires back with his signature verbal jabs. This dynamic played out yet again last week during Donald Trump’s inauguration day.

In a viral photo and video, McGregor was initially seen joking around with Jake Paul, even spending considerable time seated next to Jake Paul’s mother. However, the situation took a dramatic turn when another video surfaced, capturing a heated argument between McGregor and the Paul brothers. In the exchange, McGregor reportedly mocked them for their “side jobs,” prompting Logan Paul to retaliate with a sharp response.

The confrontation quickly caught the attention of Nate Diaz, who didn’t hold back as he addressed the Paul brothers on X. Calling them out, Diaz wrote, “What the hell’s going on here? You guys have been talking hella s–t. You should’ve beat his ass. He would’ve fed you both up easy, but at least you should’ve tried after talking all that s–t. You ladies are all talk. Be about it, don’t just talk about it. #paulsisters vs. #realfighter.”
