After taking a few moments on this past week’s UFC 202 conference call to throw some expletives the way of most of the WWE roster, featherweight champ Conor McGregor clarified his statements.
Or, rather, he doubled down on his trash talk.
“I didn’t mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans,” McGregor tweeted. “What I meant to say was that I’d slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday’s.”
McGregor (19-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) rematches Nate Diaz (19-10 MMA, 14-8 UFC) in the UFC 202 pay-per-view welterweight main event Aug. 20 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Diaz scored a second round submission of McGregor in the first outing, a result many pro wrestlers who responded on social media were quick to point out.
Check out some of the most interesting responses from the world of sports entertainment below.

Coming from a guy who built a career copying my persona, I expected the type of class we get from Ronda or Anderson.

After Diaz finishes you again, I dare you to try guys like Dolph, Brock, or Fit.
Oh you're welcome for your gimmick

Never show a Jack Russell a mirror. It thinks it's a majestic Irish Wolfhound. Really, just an annoying wee yapper trying to sell tickets.
