UFC 203 is over, and CM Punk got the crap beatenchoked out of him in his debut. Afterward, a number of MMA fighters reacted on Twitter to Punk taking his first (and probably last) L. Noticeably absent from the list was Conor McGregor, though a TMZ cameraman still found him and asked him his thoughts about Saturday night's beatdown.
If you know anything about McGregor, you know he's not going to turn down an opportunity to talk. And so he, in character, responded to the impromptu interviewer with some praise for Punk by also passive-aggressively calling WWErs "pussies" again, saying "Fair play to [CM Punk] because he got in there and fought." He continued, "Not a lot of people do. Not a lot of people have the balls to make that walk. So fair play. He got his ass whupped. God bless, he got his ass whupped. But those WWE guys are straight pussies, I told you all. But he isn’t. He got in there and fought. So fair play to him, respect."
Believe it or not, many wrestlers in the WWE didn't take kindly to being called "pussies" the first several times and responded on Twitter, SportsCenter, and at a promotional event to the insults being hurled their way by the gritty Irish fighter. Still, it seems that it's a theme McGregor will constantly harp on as long as he's asked his opinion on brawlers in Vince McMahon's crew. Guess we'll see in the next few days if they still care enough to respond or if they're over it by now.
