Conor McGregor Goes After John Cena At Press Conference

Following The Notorious’ comments toward WWE stars, legend Ric Flair responded to the Irishman’s controversial remarks. The 75-year-old veteran accused the Dubliner of copying his style in an X(formerly Twitter) post.

The Irishman responded to Ric Flair calling him a ‘legend.’ The Notorious claimed to respect the veteran and appeared to accept his pushbacks. However, McGregor failed to show his respect toward the modern-day personalities of WWE.

The fighter’s specific target transpired to be veteran wrestler and actor John Cena. McGregor went on to attack the WWE superstar’s popular catchphrases and his former Mr. Olympia stint.


“He’s running around in a luminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about nobody can see him,” said Conor McGregor. Cena is known for his popular catchphrase ‘You Can’t See Me’ which caught the world by storm.

Although the catchphrase reached millions of fans around the world, The Notorious failed to be amused by the shtick.

“He’s a weak, fat, 40 years old, failed Mr. Olympian mother******,” said Conor McGregor. Even though Cena found huge success in WWE, his former dream of becoming Mr. Olympia failed to come to fruition.

Aside from fighters, Conor McGregor has involved himself in rivalries against actors and rappers as well. From Machine Gun Kelly to 50 Cent, the Irishman has gone after several personalities involved in show business.

“I hope that he can go in there and be the Conor of old and be aggressive, and go in there to finish the fight,” said José Aldo. Despite their once-brutal feud, the Brazilian fighter appears to have forgiven the Irishman and looks forward to his performance at UFC 303.

Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC is one of the most anticipated events of 2024. Following an injury loss to Dustin Poirier, the Irishman looks to out-perform Michael Chandler in the eagerly-awaited bout.
