“Beating Conor McGregor”: Top WWE Star Takes a Cheeky Dig at Legendary UFC Fighter

Legendary UFC fighter Conor McGregor has cemented his legacy in the world of mixed martial arts. He is the first simultaneous multi-divisional champion in UFC history, holding the Featherweight and Lightweight Championships at the same time.

However, outside the Octagon, ‘The Notorious One’ has often found himself in various controversies with other athletes and stars. Most notably, his disputes with WWE superstars can never be forgotten.

Recently, WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler held a QnA session on Twitter. There were multiple questions asked by the fans. However, host Sarah O’Connell had an interesting question to ask. She asked which celebrity Ziggler would like to have a singles match in WWE.

The former two-time World Heavyweight Champion was quick to respond. He showed interest in facing UFC Fighter Conor McGregor at WrestleMania. Moreover, The Showoff wants to defeat The Notorious at the grandest stage. 

Ziggler wrote, “it wouldn’t be on points”. The match would be under pro wrestling rules and not the MMA points system. The ‘Heel’ is firm that he can defeat McGregor in the squared circle in a pro wrestling match. 

There are multiple times WWE has hinted at signing McGregor. Also, after the major social media arguments with WWE Superstars, many thought the Irishman would show up in WWE. However, that is yet to come to fruition.
