Conor McGregor: ‘John Cena Is a Big Fat 40-Year-Old Failed Mr. Olympia’

– UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor recently did a media day Q&A session ahead of UFC 202 (via FOX Sports). However, after his recent controversial comments against WWE Superstars, McGregor took aim this time at John Cena, calling the top WWE Superstar a “failed Mr. Olympia motherf—ker.” He also responded to Ric Flair’s tweets about McGregor copying Flair’s gimmick. Below are some highlights.

McGregor’s thoughts on John Cena: “The rest are dweebs. What’s the main guy? John Cena. He’s 40, he’s 40 years of age. He’s walking around in an illuminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about [how] no one can see him. We can see him right there, he’s a big fat 40 year old failed Mr. Olympia motherf–ker! They’re dweebs, those guys!”

McGregor on the new age of wrestlers being dweebs: “Like I said, no disrespect to the Dons of the game. I mean Vinny Mac’s a f–king legend. They wrote Vinny Mac a couple of years ago, then he rose back up and he’s back in the billionaires club. What he’s been able to do with that bunch of dweebs he has over there at the moment has been phenomenal and I respect him for that. And then of course, the old G’s of the game – The Rock, Stone Cold – they’re all cool mother f–kers. Even Ric Flair’s a cool mother f–ker… but that new age of those guys are absolute dweebs… it ain’t trash talk, it’s true talk!”

McGregor on Flair claiming he copied his gimmick: “Ric Flair’s a legend but as far as gimmicks, this is the real thing over here. I think these WWE guys; they’re not right in the head some of them. I mean the new guys are dweebs, let’s be honest, absolute dweebs but the old school guys are legends. Ric Flair is a legend. The McMahons of course — Dons. But I just say it as it is — they’re dweebs. I don’t know what to say to Ric Flair. This ain’t no gimmick, this is the real (expletive). I’ve got to get in there and fight a man for real. With no script, with no nothing.”

On being challenged by WWE Superstars: “He was talking about bringing some other wrestling guys over to challenge me. I said come bring it then. This is the real (expletive) over here. You want to come over? We can fight no problem. A few of them are talking about the street and all — if they want to do that, come at me and see what happens.”
