‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor Backs Eccentric UFC Star After Heated Exchange With the New AEW Champion, MJF

Professional wrestlers and MMA fighters have often not seen each other eye to eye. MMA fighters have often been deemed to be more skillful in fighting, whereas professional wrestling is seen as fake. These few stereotypes have often raised questions and instigated fights between the athletes of these two sports.

Over the years, several debates have taken place between these two genres of the sport. However, no solid conclusion has come out, as to which is the superior one. Recently, a new debate sparked after an AEW wrestler got into a heated exchange with UFC Fighter, Paddy Pimblett and Conor McGregor.

Recently, Paddy “The Baddy” got involved in an issue with AEW Champion, MJF. The incident took place after MJF claimed that professional wrestling was more dangerous than MMA. After taking shots at Pimblett, and even name taking, Conor McGregor, the Irishman, responded back. MJF had called Paddy Pimblett, a ‘dollar store Conor McGregor.’

McGregor took to Twitter to state that the dollar store McGregor is still worth a million. He wrote, ” A dollar store Conor is still worth millions! Let’s go, young Paddy Pimb! Don’t know who this other clown is.”

However, McGregor’s tweet had an unexpected guest in the form of Terrence McKinney. McKinney stated that McGregor referred to Pimblett as the dollar store version of himself, and if he believed in it.

Pimblett is currently under preparation for his upcoming bout against Jared Gordon at UFC 282 on December 10th at Las Vegas. McGregor, on the other hand, is currently training very hard for his return to UFC.

MJF’s fiancee states how his Championship win has affected him

MJF had defeated Jon Moxley to win the AEW World Championship at AEW: Full Gear. However, it now seems as if the championship win has gone to his head. Ever since winning the title, the 26-year-old has made several controversial remarks.

Now, his fiancee took to Twitter to announce how his championship win has affected him. She stated that, ever since he won the title, he has not taken off the belt, and has specifically asked her to refer to him as ‘the champion of the world.’

However, all of these just seem to be kayfabe and a work. And since MFJ is a heel, this character transition has been working well. His recent heat with MMA fighters and his fiancee calling him out on Twitter has worked well for his character.
