WWE Champion in Awe of Conor McGregor’s 40 Second Finish Against Cowboy

Conor McGregor has been the global face of Ireland as far as combat sports is concerned. However, “The Emerald Isle” has also produced stars in the world of pro wrestling. WWE Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is one of the biggest names that come up in this regard.

Lynch has always been a supporter of the Irish megastar. Conor’s latest exploits in the UFC octagon had her in all sorts of amazement. Lynch had even predicted that her fellow countryman would finish Cerrone in the second round. Speaking to Ariel Helwani, she expressed her pleasure on being proven wrong.

“Oh, of course, yeah,” Becky replied when Helwani asked her if she had watched Conor fight. “I predicted the second round. That was just because I thought he would take more of his time. But no, he didn’t need it. It was great to see him back in the kingdom,” she added.

Conor McGregor returned to the Octagon after a fifteen-month long self-imposed hiatus. However, despite the layoff, he made quick work of his opponent. It seemed as if McGregor was back to his old invincible self against Cerrone. The win also proved to be his first step in a rematch with his longtime foe Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Becky Lynch praised the efforts of Conor McGregor in putting the word out against Coronavirus

Conor hasn’t chided away from voicing his opinions towards the steps that need to be taken to battle Coronavirus. In a fiery speech, McGregor had asked the powers that govern his nation to impose a full lockdown in the country. After the lockdown was finally imposed McGregor released yet another message urging people to comply with the same.

The WWE standout was impressed with McGregor’s work. She added that the silver lining of the pandemic has been the fact that it has taught us to work together on a global scale.

“It’s awesome to see. When we have this platform it is important to get people to bond together to find a solution for this problem. I think that has been one of the coolest things about this. We see people’s ability to work together, not just on a local or national scale but on a global scale.”

This isn’t the first time that Becky has said good things about Conor. Earlier this month, she picked “The Notorious One” to win the rematch against Khabib.
