Days After a Heated Confrontation on Social Media, Paul Heyman Takes a Sly Jibe at Conor McGregor’s Famous UFC Career: “He’s Funny…Like a Clown”

The world of combat sports has many trash talkers. But, many MMA fans consider Conor McGregor one of the best at tearing down grown men with his sharp words. The Irishman has a reputation for provoking rivals through tweets and taunts, which fans love to see. However, the former dual champion might’ve taken on the master of trash-talking himself on this occasion. Recently, Paul Heyman gave a measured response to McGregor, who threatened to break his jaw.

Moreover, The Wiseman showed no mercy while comparing the former UFC champion to a circus clown.

Paul Heyman mocks Conor McGregor for imitating Roman Reigns

In a recent interview with BT Sport, Paul Heyman addressed his ongoing social media feud with Conor McGregor. It started after The advisor to Roman Reigns claimed the UFC champion tries to imitate the ‘Tribal Chief’ in the ring, as ‘The Notorious’ has a habit of flapping his dual belts around, before the audience. Both men carry a sense of pride and machismo with their belts.

However, Paul Heyman felt that McGregor was no match for his client. Therefore, The Irishman had to pick fights with an out-of-shape elderly wise man. He said, “(Conor McGregor) is a Roman Reigns wannabe, did the Paul Heyman style, you know title on each shoulder and gave a shout-out to himself, of course, he did.”

The 57-year-old didn’t mind the antics and concluded, “And that’s okay because I like the little guy. He’s funny to me, like a clown. You know… like a clown. He’s here for my amusement.”

Therefore, Heyman accused McGregor of being ‘all bark and no bite’ with his threatening tweet and labeled him a clown.

The Notorious might not have a long-lasting career, according to The Wiseman

During the same interview, Paul Heyman commented on McGregor’s relevancy. The famous counselor has solidified his presence in the entertainment industry over the years. But, Heyman can’t say the same for ‘The Notorious’.

Paul Heyman said, “I appreciate the fact that I’m old enough to be number one and that I’m still thriving on top. I would like to see if Conor McGregor at 57, still thriving at the very top of his entire industry, number one. We’ll see if he’s even relevant at 50. We’ll see if he even lives to 57 with his lifestyle…”

Therefore, with these statements, The Wiseman humiliated the former UFC champion on trash-talking grounds. It will be interesting to see McGregor responds to these comments in the near future.
