Two of the biggest superstars in sports entertainment, Brock Lesnar and Conor McGregor, had a beef and were going after each other. Though the animosity has cooled down, the two had some entertaining exchanges. Brock Lesnar is one of the few prizefighters who had a successful career in both WWE and UFC.
The charismatic superstar usually has Paul Heyman alongside him to handle the microphone work. However, Lesnar gave fans some underrated gems on his own as well.
One of the examples of these moments arrived when he talked about Conor McGregor at the 30th annual SummerSlam event in 2017.

In a backstage interview with Sam Roberts, Lesnar said, “I take sh**s bigger than that kid, alright. Come on guys, let’s get, I know you guys play f**king video games, and you live in this f**king false sense of reality and sh*t.”
“I’m 200 and f**king 90 pounds. Alright. This guy is 145 pounds, that’s if he’s lucky and gets up, and eats his f**king Wheaties, okay?”

“If Conor McGregor wants to say some sh*t to me, and get his name out there more than he already has, by dropping my name. I got f**king about ten words for him – ‘Come here, face to face Conor, alright, and say it to my face.’ Otherwise, leave me and the f**king WWE out of it.”
Lesnar concluded by saying he found success inside the octagon. So, to prove his toughness, Conor McGregor should come to WWE.
The former UFC heavyweight champion had Paul Heyman, who enjoyed the whole segment, with him. Heyman told Roberts that it was Roberts’ best interview ever.
Conor McGregor called out the WWE roster
‘The Notorious’ had targeted the WWE roster in one of his tweets in 2016. The brash UFC superstar suggested he could beat everybody in WWE. Furthermore, he had gone after the WWE superstars in UFC, primarily Brock Lesnar. In a UFC 202 conference call, McGregor disrespected Lesnar and had some harsh words for the former UFC heavyweight champion.
I didn't mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans. What I meant to say was that I'd slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday's.
— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) August 7, 2016
As Brock Lesnar pointed out, the Irish superstar is too small for him to get into a fight inside the octagon. However, in WWE, there have been bigger mismatches than Lesnar and McGregor. Thus, the only way to see these superstars compete against each other, perhaps, is in the WWE ring.
